"Mono, mono, mono," some Valencia's fans sang to Vinicius as the Real Madrid bus arrived at Mestalla to play the league match against Valencia. The thing did not stop there since the Brazilian had to stop the game to point out several fans who imitated a monkey and pointed to the Brazilian.

It is not the first time, but this time the thing has transcended football and many athletes and personalities have wanted to comment on the event. Sports voices such as Rio Ferdinand, Mbappé or Infantino have given their support. Lula da Silva and Isabel Díaz Ayuso have defended that "Spain is not a racist country"
