At the Mestalla Stadium during Real Madrid's 1-0 loss to Valencia, some sections of the crowd racially abused winger Vinicius Jr.
According to reports, Atletico Madrid overtook Los Blancos in the league standings as a result of the loss.
Meanwhile Just a few minutes into the second half, the Brazilian international alerted the referee to the racist shouts being made by Valencia supporters.
After a fight with Hugo Duro, Vincius Jr. ended up being dismissed for aggressive behavior. The video assistant referee disregarded Valencia supporters grabbing him when he was choked up in favor of Vinci's battle with Duro.
Following the match, Vinicius Jr. emphasized on his Instagram account how LaLiga condoned discrimination.
Rio Ferdinand, a former player for Manchester United, urged other football players to speak out against racism and support Vinicius Jr.
The Brazilian is wanted at Old Trafford by Manchester United supporters, who have responded to Ferdinand's petition.
