For a long time now, Vinicius Jr has been subjected to racist abuse in the La Liga.

It’s still a problem for Vinicius Jr today, and a sign that the fight against racism isn’t over yet.

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba, who also suffered from such abuse during his career, has urged for action to help protect the Real Madrid star.

Drogba also advised Vinicius Jr to keep being at his best, and use his success as a weapon against his abusers.

Drogba said in a message to Vinicius: “What Vinicius experiences today is the result of the globalized world we are living in, of social networks, of the people who hide in their mobile phones to tell you unpleasant things, to incite hatred.

“Strong measures need to be taken in this regard.

“But for now, he will have to arm himself with courage and continue to perform at his best because, for the moment, it is the only way to defend himself, being among the best in the world. “
