Vinicius Jr had a simple message for the critics after Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 in a fiercely-contested derby – tweeting: “Dance wherever you want.”
The Brazilian had to block out the outside noise and maintain focus despite a difficult week that saw him subjected to sickening racist abuse.
Ahead of the game at the Metropolitano on Sunday, some shameful Atletico fans were captured on video singing “Vinicius, you are a monkey”.
The stadium announcer also had to ask Atletico fans to be respectful as racist chants could be heard from several sections of the home crowd.
Despite the shameful racist abuse from the Atletico fans, Vinicius Junior let his football do the talking as he tormented the Atletico Madrid defence.
