"

The racists keep going to the stadiums and seeing the best club in the world play up close, and LaLiga keep doing nothing (...) I will keep my head up and celebrate my victories and those of Real Madrid.

On arrival, (anyway) it's my fault

Five days earlier, supporters had chanted “

You are a monkey, Vinicius, you are a monkey
