Another racist incident targeting Vinicius. A fan brought a bunch of bananas to the Santiago Bernabeu
In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League tie, Real Madrid defeated Benfica, but the match was overshadowed by a racist scandal involving Vinicius. However, that was not the end of it, as another disturbing episode has now emerged.
Details: According to Leo Dias on his page on X, last Saturday, 21 February, one fan brought a bunch of bananas. The individual turned out to be a Benfica supporter. He visited the Real Madrid museum and placed the bananas on a sticker bearing the image of the Brazilian forward.
By the way, no one within Real Madrid can currently specify a timeframe for Jude Bellingham’s comeback. A definitive return date has yet to be set.
Recall: Real Madrid have also published their full squad list for the match against Benfica. To the great disappointment of the Galacticos faithful, the bad news has been confirmed: 27-year-old forward Kylian Mbappe will not feature in tonight’s game.
