'Not even close to what normal people suffer' - Vinicius Jr insists Real Madrid players will walk off the pitch in the face of racism after suffering barrage of abuse in Spain

Vinicius has spoken out once again on the racist abuse he and others have been subjected to in Spain in recent years. The Madrid forward has hinted that he will walk off the pitch if it happens in the future and his Los Blancos team-mates will join the Brazilian in a show of solidarity.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to<a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/28/sport/vinicius-jr-racism-real-madrid-spain-spt-intl?Date=20240828&amp;Profile=cnnsport&amp;utm_content=1724844704&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank"> CNN</a>, Vinicius said: “Today – maybe [some fans] are still racists – but nowadays they are afraid to express themselves in the football field, and in places where there are a lot of cameras. And with that we will reduce racism, little by little. Of course, we won’t be able to end it, but I’m already happy that I’m being able to change Spain’s mindset."In the club, we talk about it more often. Not just me, but all players said that if that happens, the next time everyone has to leave the field so that all of those people who insulted us have to pay a much bigger penalty. It’s always very difficult to end a game, but with everything that’s been happening, that each time is getting worse, we do need to leave the field so things can change as soon as possible."

WHAT VINICIUS JR SAID

Racial slurs have often been caught on camera during Real Madrid's matches over the last 12 months, but it has led to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/four-people-arrested-over-vinicius-junior-effigy-hung-from-bridge-before-madrid-derby/blte93d6dc78c36f04b" target="_blank">several arrests being made</a> in a positive step against racism in football. UEFA's three-step protocol to help players and referees deal with racism has also been a success.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

While Vinicius continues to battle racism, he has not let it affect his brilliance on the pitch. The 24-year-old continues to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-kw/lists/vinicius-junior-trained-ronaldo-nazario-house-closer-ballon-d-or-real-madrid-winger-jude-bellingham/blt341e62ec3262156e" target="_blank">lead Real to new heights</a>, most recently securing the league and Champions League double. He will line up against Las Palmas on Thursday night in La Liga.
