Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has called for Pedro Bravo – the president of Spanish football agents – to be arrested after he racially abused Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior.
Pedro Bravo said when discussing Brazil international Vinicius: “You have to respect your opponents. When you score a goal, if you want to dance Samba, you should go to sambodromo in Brazil. You have to respect your mates and stop playing the monkey.”
Bruno has since come out in support of his fellow countryman and called on the relevant authorities to take action.
He has said in a social media post: “This MORON needs to leave this place arrested! No excuses. If a guy says this on live TV, just imagine what he says when he’s not. Inconceivable if this guy is not jailed.”
Brazilian international Neymar reacted on social media by urging Vinicius Junior to keep dancing.
Neymar wrote in Portuguese: “DANCE VINI JR”. He added on Instagram: “Dribble, dance and be you! Happy just the way you are. Go for it my boy, next goal we dance!”
The Madrid star replied: “All the time!”
