The message of support from the Brazilian striker Raphinha, fist raised: “We are together, Vini”

The Brazilian footballer from FC Barcelona Raphinha joined the gestures of solidarity with Vinícius in the game this Tuesday against Real Valladolid. When he left the field of play, the striker took off his shirt to show another inside on which a verse by Bob Marley was written: “As long as the color of the skin is more important than the brightness of the eyes, there will be war.” .

On the back you could read “TMJ, Vini”, an acronym that comes to say: “(We) are together, Vini”. The soccer player left the field clenching his fist high.

The Competition Committee has decided to close the Mestalla stands from which Vinícius was insulted last Sunday in a match against Real Madrid for five games. The events occurred during the second part of the match and gestures and shouts “with racist overtones” were recorded towards the player. The specific area that is going to be closed is the Mario Kempes stands, where the footballer pointed out the origin of the attacks.

“It is considered proven that, as reflected by the referee in his minutes, there were racist shouts at Vinícius, a Real Madrid CF player, during the aforementioned match, altering the normal course of the game and considering the infractions very serious”, said the Competition Committee, which has detailed that a penalty of 45,000 euros is imposed on the club.
