Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr dances in front of Mallorca fans in celebration after being ‘racially abused’
VINICIUS JR responded in the best possible way after being racially abused by Mallorca fans… by celebrating in front of them.
The Real Madrid forward scored in Monday night’s 3-0 win away at the Iberostar Stadium to send Los Blancos ten points clear at the top of LaLiga.
But the victory has been marred with reports stating the 21-year-old was racially abused by the home supporters.
According to Spanish reporter Sergio Quirante, a section of fans aimed racist chants towards the Brazilian winger.
It has been claimed the incident happened as the former Flamengo forward was making his way to the tunnel at half-time.
Just ten minutes after the restart, Vinicius shut up the Mallorca faithful as he fired Carlo Ancelotti’s men into the lead with a clinical left-footed strike.
