Brazilian Vinicius was the victim of racist insults from Valencia fans. The striker, on the arrival of Madrid's bus at Mestalla, heard the racist chant as he made his way towards the door to enter the Mestalla stadium.

Vinicius once again made headlines both on and off the pitch. The Brazilian was once again the victim of racist insults from the rival fans, something that has been happening throughout the season in La Liga.

The Madrid striker finally blew up after 75 minutes when he reproached a Valencia fan for calling him a "monkey". "It was you, you son of a b*tch," said the player as his team-mates tried to calm him down.

From that point onwards, the whole thing ended with Vinicius being sent off for hitting Hugo Duro. However, it should be mentioned that these chants against the Brazilian's skin colour started much earlier.

On the arrival of the Madrid bus, the '20' got off the bus to enter the Mestalla stadium while from the side of the street was heard "Vinicius, you're a monkey". Tik Tok user '_bartolito_12' posted the video.
