Vinicius Jr hits out at La Liga after racial abuse

Vinicius Jr took to social media on Saturday afternoon to call out La Liga following the alleged racist abuse.

He has also vowed to keep his head up high and not let the racists affect him.

He wrote: "Racists keep going to the stadiums and watching the biggest club in the world up close and La Liga continues to do nothing...

"I will continue with my head held high and celebrate my victories and Madrid's. In the end it's MY fault."

The fact that players are still being racially abused is shocking.

More has to be done to completely eradicate racial abuse from the beautiful game.
