Valencia fans, who had been shouting racist slogans against Vinicius before the game, became rough and eventually collided.

Angry Vinicius left the pitch and raised two fingers in a gesture wishing that Valencia, who had been sluggish this season, would go down to the second division.

Rather, it is encouraged.” “Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano This place where Ronaldo and Lionel Messi played now belongs to racists.”
