In an interview with Movistar Plus, the president of the Spanish La Liga, Javier Tebas, commented on the game of Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid and praised his contribution to the fight against racism.
In that fight against racism, Vinicius is an example to follow. He wants to assert himself as an individual and as part of a collective and I see that positively. He (Vinicius) is a player with qualities that draw a lot of attention. For who he is and what he represents. I think he is among the best players in the world.

Vinicius regularly faces attacks from fans due to his skin color. In the match against Valencia on March 2nd (2:2), fans of the opposing teams chanted racist slogans towards the footballer.
