Vinicius Junior's struggle in La Liga inspired the Brazilian national team to pay tribute to the 22-year-old striker during their international friendly against Guinea.
The Real Madrid winger slammed La Liga, alleging the Spanish league "belongs to racists" after seeing too many racist events during the 2022/23 season.
According to Goal, Brazil wore an all-black uniform for the first time against Guinea on Saturday as part of an anti-racism campaign and to express solidarity for Vinicius.
As a minute's silence was held with players from both sides bowing, the Selecao team stood behind boards that said, "With racism, there is no game."
Vinicius has received 10 reports of racial abuse this season in La Liga, most notably from Valencia supporters during a league match at the Mestalla on May 21, for which he was finally sent off.
