Football player Vinicius responds to insults in a minute of silence for earthquake victims
MOSCOW, February 19 – RIA Novosti. Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior held a minute of silence in memory of those who lost their lives in the earthquake in Turkey and Syria during the 22nd week match between Spain and Osasuna.
The incident occurred at Osasuna’s home stadium in Pamplona on Saturday. According to Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Osasuna supporters called the Brazilian “son of a whore” and chanted “Die Vinicius” during a minute of silence.
According to AS, during the match against “Osasuna”, Vinicius made offensive remarks towards the referee. He expressed that he did not agree with his decision and called the referee.
In September 2022, Atlético Madrid fans racially abused the Brazilian during a La Liga match. In January, a group of fans from the capital’s club placed an offensive banner against Real Madrid and a hanging figure of Vinicius on the bridge ahead of the teams’ head-to-head match at the Copa del Rey. The Brazilian player was also harassed in other matches in Spain.
