Vinicius Junior has once again been the victim of racism, after he received abuse on multiple occasions from Girona fans during Real Madrid’s 4-2 defeat at Montilivi on Tuesday night.
The Brazilian was in electric form all night, scoring and assisting for his side. Vinicius was also involved in a number of confrontations with Girona players too
He was also seen brushing off the Real Madrid shirt in the direction of the Girona fans at one point, a show of disdain which takes on a different light when considering the coniditions.
Various videos have emerged which appear to show Girona fans mimicking monkey sounds towards Vinicius.
A ver si conseguimos que el @GironaFC @LaLiga @mossos @policia consiguen identificar a este impresentable racista que en el minuto 53, mientras a Vini le dicen de todo desde la grada, le hace el sonido del simio. pic.twitter.com/3lFIOhOBiv

Racial abuse has become far too common for Vinicius this season, with a number of people calling for harsher punishments for fans involved.
As a general rule across six or seven incidents, fans have been banned from sporting events for a year, and fined €4k. This appears not to be the deterrent that the authoritities believe it to be. La Liga are yet to comment on the chants at Montilivi.
