Vinicius hits out at Tebas, La Liga after racist abuse vs Valencia: “Want actions and punishments”
Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr was not only subjected to vocal insults and abuses at Mestalla on Sunday night but also saw an unacceptable straight red card for engaging in a physical tussle. Ironically, however, it was only he who was sanctioned and not the Valencia star who instigated the fight.
An understandably frustrated Vinicius took to his social media after the game to lash out at the repeated instances of hate against him. He specifically targeted La Liga for their incompetence in handling the situation and indirect support for racism.
“It wasn’t the first time, nor the second, nor the third. Racism is normal in La Liga. The competition thinks it’s normal, the [Spanish Football] Federation does too and the opponents encourage it.”
His words for the league only got more sour as his statements went on. The Brazilian had no mercy on the Spanish League and said it was no longer known for the reasons it used to be famous for.
“I’m so sorry. The championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano [Ronaldo] and [Lionel] Messi today belongs to racists.”
Vinicius’ outrage then shifted target from the Spanish League to the entire Nation of Spain as he called them the ‘exporters’ of racist propaganda.
“A beautiful nation, which welcomed me and which I love, but which agreed to export the image of a racist country to the world.”
Vinicius Jr ended his social media outrage with a feeling of helplessness in his tone as he spoke about how he was virtually single-handedly fighting off the hate and racism. Yet, he said he refused to give up.
“I’m sorry for the Spaniards who don’t agree, but today, in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists. And unfortunately, for everything that happens each week, I have no defence. I agree. But I am strong and I will go to the end against racists. Even if far from here.”
In response to the footballer’s long thread against the abuse he faced last night at Mestalla, La Liga president Javier Tebas took to his Twitter to douse the fire. Instead of siding with the victim, however, he once again pushed the blame on the Brazilian saying,
“Since those who should not explain to you what it is and what La Liga can do in cases of racism, we have tried to explain it to you. But you have not shown up for either of the two agreed dates that you requested yourself.”
He then defended the Spanish League and lashed out at Vini Jr for ‘insulting La Liga’ and ‘being manipulated.’
“Before criticizing and insulting LaLiga, it is necessary that you inform yourself properly Vinicius. Do not let yourself be manipulated and make sure you fully understand each other’s competencies and the work we have been doing together.”
The Real Madrid starlet did not hold back after Tebas’ unacceptable response. In his quick and curt reply to the president, Vinicius said that Tebas was projecting a pro-racist image of himself and added that discussions would be of no good.
“Once again, instead of criticizing racists, the president of LaLiga appears on social networks to attack me. The image of your championship shakes. Skipping it only makes you equal to racists. I’m not your friend to talk about racism. I want actions and punishments,” he said as revealed by Arancha Rodriguez.
The scene in Spain does not look pretty. What is known for certain, however, is that the league is now under the most pressure it has ever been to take visible steps against racism. If no solution can be found even after such a dire situation, the Brazilian’s claims might just be true.

Manchester United launch final push to sign Real Madrid outcast; club resists permanent exit
Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Endrick as the Brazilian forward’s future at Real Madrid becomes increasingly uncertain, with a potential January loan move emerging as a solution to his lack of regular playing time.
According to Bernabeu Digital, Manchester United are making a final push to convince the 19-year-old to join them.
However, negotiations could prove complicated because the Premier League club is interested in including a purchase option in the deal, while Real Madrid are not currently planning to give up permanent control of the striker.
Endrick’s limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season have opened the door to a temporary departure, with AC Milan and Tottenham also emerging as potential destinations.
Why Manchester United want Endrick?
Manchester United are looking for greater attacking productivity and believe Endrick could provide a different dimension to their forward line.
The Premier League club has also been linked with the Brazilian in the past, as they assess options to improve their goalscoring output after a poor start to the season.
Notably, his situation at Real Madrid makes a move more plausible, as Endrick has struggled to secure consistent minutes, and the club is considering a loan that would give him the chance to play regularly.
However, United’s preferred terms could become the biggest obstacle.
The English side reportedly wants the option to buy Endrick at the end of the loan, potentially giving them a route to a permanent transfer if he impresses.
Real Madrid reject permanent Endrick exit
Real Madrid’s preference is understood to be a straightforward loan without a purchase option.
The club want Endrick to gain experience elsewhere before returning to compete for a place in the squad, rather than risk losing a young forward they have invested in for the future.
His previous loan spell at Lyon provides a possible model for another temporary move, although any agreement would depend on the terms offered and the player’s own preferences.
Manchester United are prepared to make an attractive financial proposal in an effort to secure his arrival, but money alone may not resolve the disagreement if Real Madrid remain unwilling to include a purchase clause.
