This is the final stop of the match and the victory on paper of the opposing team.

Earlier, Vinicius himself claimed responsibility for what happened with his post on social networks, attacking La Liga accusing him of not providing any protection to the players. “The league that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano and Messi belongs to the racists today,” he wrote on Instagram, adding: “This was not the first time, not the second, not the third. Racism is the norm in La Liga. The competition considers this normal, and the federation and rivals encourage it. A beautiful nation that accepted me and I love it, but that agreed to export the image of a racist country to the world. And, unfortunately, from everything that happens every week, I have no protection. However, I am strong and will fight the racists to the end. Even if I do it far from here.”

Carlo Ancelotti and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva also expressed their unconditional support for Vinicius. His Real Madrid teammates are now ready to walk off the field the next time they hear racist chants.
