Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr believes that racist fans should be banned from attending games for the rest of their lives.
Ahead of Atletico Madrid’s match against Real in September, fans were caught on camera chanting racist slogans towards the 22-year-old Brazilian outside the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
Local media also reported that monkey noises and chants of “Vinicius, die” were heard throughout the game.
Atletico and LaLiga condemned the abuse directed at Vinicius in the build-up to the Madrid derby, which Real won 2-1.
Atletico said they were collaborating with authorities to identify the abusers who would be banned by the club.
What Vinicus Had To Say
Vinicius stated to Brazilian TV Globo on Sunday, “If you hurt other people, you must pay.”
“It’s hard to say that (racism in soccer) will end with so many people still doing it. But I like to believe that there are more good people than bad.
Vinicius: “But I repeat it to you racist: I will not stop dancing. Whether at the Sambodromo, at the Bernabéu or wherever.” #BailaViniJr pic.twitter.com/HwyPPnIhb6

“All the racist people must pay in some way. If they like to watch soccer, so those Atletico Madrid fans should never be allowed to step foot in a stadium again.
“That will make them suffer the consequences and reflect about their actions.”
