📸 After incident involving Vini Jr, Real fans take a stand against racism

During the first leg of the Champions League playoffs between Real Madrid and Benfica Lisbon, Vinícius Júnior was allegedly subjected to racist abuse by Gianluca Prestianni.

Before today’s second leg, Real fans rallied behind their superstar, who has unfortunately been the victim of racist hostility time and again in recent years.

“NO AL RACISMO” (“No to Racism”) could be seen on a banner in the home section of the Royal club’s stadium.

Words that, hopefully, many more people than just Prestianni—who was suspended by UEFA for today’s match following the incidents—should take to heart.
