Over the last 12-18 months, Vinicius Junior has been targeted on several occasions with racist abuse, a situation that reached boiling point back in May after another instance during Real Madrid’s match against Valencia at the Mestalla.
Depressingly, it appears that Vinicius was the target of another case of racist abuse against Sevilla on Saturday, with pictures emerging of a fan aiming monkey gestures in the direction of the 23-year-old.
After the match, Vinicius called again for changes to be made so that these incidents do not happen again – to him or anyone else. However, it appears that not everyone sympathises with the Brazilian, as Mikel Camps – who is Deputy Spokesperson of Barcelona’s Board of Directors – taking to X to criticise the Real Madrid forward.
“It is not racism, he deserves a slap for being a clown. What do these unnecessary and meaningless bicycle kicks represent in the centre of the field?”

😳 "No es racismo, se merece una colleja por payaso y vacilón, qué representan estas bicicletas innecesarias y sin sentido en el centro del campo"

The notion that Vinicius brings this racist abuse on himself is utterly ridiculous. No one deserves this kind of treatment, especially just because they are a football player that you don’t like. It is a sad, sad situation that Spanish football finds itself in.
What else to expect from a left bottom of Bell curve catalanimaI.
Talk talk monkey
This Barcelona spokesperson had the option to say nothing and, instead, he chose to become famous for saying racist chanting isn’t racism.
Looking at their fanbase and hierarchiy
its becoming more and more obvious that being a cul0 is a mental disease.
M.C. You are frustrated and a very deranged individual. Seek help before it gets any worse. You’re missing a few cogs. Funny you blame “racism”, but you’re here spreading hate towards Barcelona fans. talk about hypocrisy.
Ok mongoIoid racist subhuman with profound mentaI issues, schizophrenia and aut. ism.
The socially awkward, split personality freak who embarrassed himself and got humiliated on the: Nacho ‘I am not a criminal’ article with schizodelusions about Nacho breaking Portus leg, while sitting the whole day and refreshing the page talks about derangement? Would pity you if your struggles weren’t so damn funny.
Then we have this Sultan Barca fan who writes that all blacks are dumb.
You prove M.C’s assessment without a doubt.
There was also this Barcelona fan comparing being called bald to nazism or something, no? De facto mentally insane.
Seems to me that there is either collective madness from playing second fiddle to Real Madrid for so long and the present economic decay of the club or that it actually is a requirement to have a rotting mind to be a Barcelona fan.
