Real Madrid have reported the racist abuse Vinicius Junior suffered at Valencia on Sunday as a hate crime, while the winger said LaLiga “belongs to the racists“. Vinicius was targeted by chants from sections of the crowd at the Mestalla during Real Madrid's 1-0 loss to Valencia, with the game being stopped in the second half for 10 minutes as the visibly angry 22-year-old grabbed the referee and pointed towards fans who he felt had abused him. Vinicius was later sent off for violent conduct in added time following an altercation with striker Hugo Duro. He tweeted after the game: “It wasn't the first time, nor the second, nor the third. Racism is normal in LaLiga. In football they think it's normal, the federation does too - and the opponent encourages it.
