Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior spoke out after he said he was racially abused by a fan before his ejection in their 1-0 loss to Valencia on Sunday.
Vinícius made a gesture at the Valencia bench on his way off the pitch, too, which sparked a second confrontation.
"I asked him but he wanted to continue. I told him I did not think it was fair that he had to play this game; you are not the guilty party, you are the victim. He continued to play. On top of that, they show him a red card which makes no sense, as it was not an aggression. "Valencia CF wish to publicly condemn insults and attacks of all kinds in football … although this is an isolated episode, insults to any opposing player have no place in football and do not fit with the values and identity of Valencia CF," Valencia said in a statement."The club are investigating what occurred and will take the most severe measures against the perpetrators.
