Vinicius scandal: After Mbappé, a Deschamps star gets involved

Once again targeted by racist cries and insults lately, Vinicius Jr sees a wave of supporters offering him comfort. Kylian Mbappé had spoken, Ousmane Dembélé did the same.

A little over a week ago, Vinicius Jr. has once again been the target of racist cries in La Liga. This time, the star of Real Madrid was abused during the meeting between Valence to the Casa Blanca. On the grass, Vinicius Jr. was the victim of insults and the match was interrupted.

“It’s incredible what Vinicius has been going through for several years”

Confused, Vinicius Jr. admitted that racism was normalized in La Liga and Kylian Mbappé wanted to express his support with the following message. ” You’re not alone. We are with you and support you”. For Telefoot, Ousmane Dembele condemned this inappropriate and discriminatory behavior. “It’s incredible what Vinicius has been going through for several years. It’s not the first time we’ve seen racism on Vinicius. I think these are things that shouldn’t happen in football in 2023. These are things that need to be sorted out very quickly because it’s really starting to annoy all the players.”

“I was the victim of racism, we are not going to quote the match”

To support his point and the point of view of Vinicius Jr. regarding La Liga, Ousmane Dembele shared his own experience at Telefoot. “I was the victim of racism, we are not going to name the match, but there were several of them on the field. We wonder if it was really that, if we had really heard those cries. I think the people in the institution have to sort this out. It has been going on for several years now and we have to react”.
