All Real Madrid players enter the field wearing the same uniform.
Dress number 20, name Vinicius.
The whole squad came out for a teammate who suffered severe racial discrimination, such as being taunted as a “monkey” in the previous expedition in Valencia.
A large hanging with the words “We are all Vinicius” appeared in the stadium, and players from both teams posed for a commemorative photo with a banner reading “Racists come off the field.”
In the 20th minute of the first half, according to Vinicius’s number 20 shirt, the fans gave him a standing ovation, and Vinicius responded in the crowd.
In the 44th minute of the second half, Vinicius and Rodrygo, a black Brazilian in the team, scored the winning goal and raised their fists, a symbol of resistance to racism, a ‘black power salute’.
Vinicius was left out of the list due to injury although he was able to play after the ban against Valencia was cancelled, but unlike the game at the time when he showed tears, he regained his smile.
“All the support will be great for Vinicius. Vinicius is psychologically fine at the moment.”
Vinicius’ hometown, Brazil, joined in support by turning off the lights of Rio’s landmark, Christ the Redeemer, for an hour.
Meanwhile, La Liga President Tebas, who was controversial when he told Vinicius, “You have to know yourself before criticizing La Liga,” apologized, saying, “I didn’t mean to attack.”
