Brazilian woman catches child calling Vini Jr. “monkey” at Valencia game

On your way back to the stadium Mestallawhere he experienced an episode of countless racist insults coming from many fans of the Valence present in May 2023, Vinicius Junior was once again attacked and the case ended up being caught this past Saturday, 2. The Brazilian Anna Anjoswho was present at the Los Murciélagos match against Real Madridfilmed the exact moment in which a child calls the Brazilian striker ‘mono’, or monkey in Spanish.

The moment she noticed they were being recorded, the boy’s mother complained and tried to stop the filming. “Since the beginning of the game I saw people offending Vini, calling him a monkey. At one point during the game I saw a chorus from the entire back of the goal calling him a monkey. But what bothered me most was a kid next to me calling him a monkey the entire game. I said it wasn’t right, but it’s so normal for them that the mother said it wasn’t offensive, she was just calling him an animal.”said the Brazilian, during an interview with “ESPN”.

Vinicius was the center of attention upon his return to Mestalla. The Brazilian striker was the target of many boos and protesting signs from Valencia fans. However, the player was largely responsible for the two goals that tied the match for Real Madrid. In the first, he celebrated with the famous clenched fist sign, a symbol of the anti-racist fight. In the second, he vibrated a lot and said “I’m here”, hitting his chest. The Whites still had the chance to turn the match around, with a goal from midfielder Jude Bellignham. However, with a controversial ending led by referee Gil Manzano, who blew the final whistle with the ball in the air, the Englishman’s header two seconds later ended up not being validated.
