Kylian Mbappe, a striker for Paris Saint-Germain, has spoken out against the racism that fellow player Vinicius Junior experienced during a recent La Liga game between Real Madrid FC and Valencia FC.
Mbappe offered his unflinching support for the Brazilian national in an Instagram post that soon went viral, assuring him that he is not fighting alone.
Fans and players alike were extremely moved by Mbappe's statement, and many prominent names in football came out in support of Vinicius.
Vinicius Junior was exposed to racial taunts by Valencia FC supporters, which sparked a physical brawl between players from both sides.
Meanwhile, Vinicius was sent off the field after receiving a straight red card.
The severity of this unfair treatment drove Vinicius to speak out against it, accusing La Liga of being both unaware of and unresponsive to similar instances.
