Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior has become a symbol of the fight against racism. The 23-year-old has been the regular target of opposing supporters, but also sometimes of other players and the media.
Racist insults even become systematic during his team's away matches. Neymar, Thiago Silva, Pelé but also many European clubs had published messages of support for the Madrilenian, but in Spain, he received very little support. The most violent episode was perhaps the affair at the Mestalla, Valencia stadium.
