Bayer Leverkusen prolific left wing-back Alejandro Grimaldo said ahead of Spain’s friendly match against Brazil in Madrid that he is aware of the racist abuse that Vinicius Jr. has suffered recently.

Bayer Leverkusen full-back Alejando Grimaldo and Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr will meet when Spain host Brazil in a friendly at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday at 21:30 CET.

The Spanish defender gave a press conference ahead of La Roja's match against the Selecao and was asked what the atmosphere could be like at the game following recent episodes of racism in La Liga, in particular against the Brazilian forward.

Despite the Santiago Bernabeu being Vinicius' home ground, the young Brazilian has been the victim of numerous racial abuses in his recent seasons in Spain, something Grimaldo was keen to comment on at a press conference. Check out what the Leverkusen full-back had to say.
