The Brazil international was targeted by chants from sections of the crowd at the Mestalla stadium during Real Madrid's 1-0 loss to Valencia.

He was later sent off after an altercation with Valencia players and took to twitter to call out the Federation.

It wasn't the first time, nor the second, nor the third. Racism is normal in La Liga. In football they thinks it's normal, the federation does too - and the opponent encourages it. I'm so sad. The championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano and Messi today belongs to racism.

A beautiful nation, which welcomed me and which I love, but which agreed to export the image of a racist country to the world. I'm sorry for the Spaniards who don't agree, but today, in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists. And unfortunately, for something that happens each week, I have no defence. I let it happen. But I am strong and I will go to the end against racists. Even if it is far from here.

Vini Jnr

However, la liga President Javier Tebas replied Vini via twitter.

Since those who should, did not explain what @la liga is and what it can do in cases of racism, we have tried to explain it to you, but you have not shown up for either of the two agreed dates that you requested yourself.

Before criticizing and insulting @la liga, you need to properly inform yourself @Vinijr. Do not let yourself be manipulated and make sure you fully understand everyone's competencies and the work we have been doing together.

Javier Tebas Medrano, la liga President

Mr. Tebas also retweeted the Federation's Statement on the game in Mestalla.

In light of the incidents that occurred during the Valencia CF - Real Madrid CF match at the Estadio de Mestalla, LaLiga have requested all available images in order to investigate what took place. Once the investigation has been completed, if any hate crime is identified, LaLiga will take the appropriate legal action.

LaLiga will also investigate footage of racist insults allegedly directed at Vinicius Jr. from outside the Estadio de Mestalla.

LaLiga has been proactive in the face of all racist incidents against Real Madrid CF player Vinicius Jr. Accordingly, LaLiga has filed reports on nine occasions in the last two seasons with the RFEF Competition Committee, the State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance in Sport, the Hate Prosecutor's Office, and the Courts regarding the following incidents:

FC Barcelona – Real Madrid CF: October 24, 2021.
​RCD Mallorca – Real Madrid CF: March 14, 2022.
Atlético de Madrid – Real Madrid: September 18 2022.
Real Valladolid – Real Madrid CF: December 30, 2022.
The "Banner in Valdebebas" incident prior to the Real Madrid CF – Atlético de Madrid Copa del Rey match: January 26, 2023.
​RCD Mallorca – Real Madrid: February 5, 2023.
​CA Osasuna – Real Madrid CF: February 18, 2023.
​Real Betis – Real Madrid: March 5, 2023.
​FC Barcelona – Real Madrid: March 19, 2023.

We remind you that, in order to speed up the identification of any person or group of people who engage in racist behaviour inside or outside any stadium, LaLiga has set up an email address StopRacismo@laliga.es so that fans can contact LaLiga and provide the necessary information to help file the relevant reports.

LaLiga has been fighting against this kind of behaviour for years, as well as promoting the positive values of sport, not only on the field of play, but also off it.

la liga

Not taking any of it, the Brazilian hit back at Tebas.

Once again, instead of criticizing racists, the President of la liga appears on social media to attack me.

As much as you talk and pretend not to read, the image of your championship is shaking. See the responses to your posts and have a rethink.

Excluding yourself only makes you equal to racists. I'm not your friend to talk about racism. I want actions and punishments. Hashtag doesn't move me.

Vini Jnr


Earlier, Real Madrid boss was quick to back his 'star boy.'

Today has been a sad day at Mestalla, where a group of fans have shown their worst version. It is time to stop talking and act forcefully. Racism cannot have a place in football or in society. NO TO RACISM ANYWHERE.

Carlo Ancelotti

Vini Jnr also had the backing of his boyhood club:

Unbelievable that this still happens, Vini. Keep dancing for them and count on the Nation always by your side. We're together! ❤🖤

This can’t keep happening. We are always with you, Vini! ❤️🖤

Flamengo

It will not end

It happened to many in Seria A

England own reduced

Spain is a racist Nation.

When we get to Heaven and we realise that our creator is black, na there I will start my own racism against all white skin. 🤣

Wetin black skin no go see for this world?

Spain is a racist Nation.

Europe

Black Man sef.
In a non black nation🙅
normal Tinz.

Tell am wella... them go put red and black hearts, them be cultists?!

If it were to be EPL they would use some of those fans as scapegoat or fined the club for their supporters behaviour.

Vini jnr u are bigger than them this guy is the only one close to Neymar agba baller
❤️❤️

rascist will not go away anytime soon

beacuse it grows with them in their growing years and every other facet of their life

A child who witness and engage in black bully in primary school, secondary school, refuse to sit down with black in higher institution watch his parent and older peps perpertuate different level of racism and get away with it

same child groing to be 40 years old then someone telling him no to rascism when all he has ever been shown is yes to rasicm

it will be difficult for such man to change without the government/football agency ready to give stiff measurement like banning them for decades, pulishing their name and face on stadium billboard as rasict

Ok

Racism, the bane of modern day football ⚽️, but then the players need the money.

Europe

Pep gaduola comes to mind

It's not ending anytime soon.

I mean take Nigeria for instance. So much tribalism

It's part of human nature

Nawa ooo

Always trying to dodge responsibility.
Since Vini has been complaining how many people have been prosecuted, punished and probably banned for racism in La liga?

Then stay back in your country if you feel offended. Racism is everywhere with different names like nepotism, tribalism etc.

Racism doesn't even annoy me as much as tribalism. Especially the kind that exists between Yorubas and Igbos in the same Southern region of Nigeria.

Two very stupid set of people!

It can't end. When even blacks discriminate against themselves

22o62021:
It will not end

England own reduced

English own reduced because they have superior surveillance they can easily identify racists with playback stadium cameras

Very painful. But God is the greatest

Why can't the federation ban them.valencia should play in empty stadium

Blake755:

U don cast

I swear.

Not Everytime he must post

Laliga president with such statement only proves that they aint really serious about tackling the snake from the head but only from the tail SPIT
