The recent words of Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior that it may be necessary to take away Spain's right to host the 2030 World Cup if it does not solve the problems with racism, has caused a resonance in the public. The Brazilian's team-mate Dani Carvajal was not left out.
Details: the Real defender parried Vinicius' words, noting that he grew up with many nationalities and did not notice racism, but at the same time supported his teammate in the fight against such a humiliating phenomenon.
Quote: ‘Since I was a child, I grew up among different nationalities in my neighbourhood, in Leganés. Spain is not a racist country. We are totally against racism in stadiums. I know what Vini is going through and we support him both internally and publicly. I think protocols are being put in place to ensure that lunatics can't return to matches. But apart from these people, I do not think that Spain does not deserve to celebrate the World Cup,’ Carvajal told reporters.
Recall: Earlier, the Mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, reacted to Vinicius' words and demanded that the Brazilian apologise for his statement.
