Atletico Madrid provided a magical evening in front of their home crowd in the Champions League. The “Rojiblancos” only knocked Inter Milan out of the premier class on penalties (match report).
In the run-up to the second leg of the round of 16, the fans were loudly getting ready for the thriller. However, neither Atletico nor Inter were the subject of the chants.
Because the Atleti supporters caused a stir with insulting songs towards Real star Vinicius Jr. The Brazilian was racially insulted by his city rival’s fans, as shown in several videos on social media.
According to Spanish “AS”, Vini Jr. was called a “chimpanzee” by Atletico fans. It is not the first time that the Brazilian winger has been the victim of racist insults. At the Madrid derby in 2021, the “Rojiblancos” supporters called the Brazilian a “monkey”.
