Vinicius in Tears: I Just Want to Play Football (Video)

Brazilian star Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid broke down in tears on Monday evening during the press conference ahead of the friendly match against Spain, scheduled for tomorrow at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Vinicius was asked three questions during the conference about the racism he has faced in stadiums over the past few months.

With tears in his eyes, Vinicius said: "I'm sorry, I just want to play football, and I want to do my best for my club and my family, and I never want to see blacks suffering." The Brazilian has been subjected to racist abuse from fans at Spanish stadiums recently, with the latest incident occurring against Osasuna, where fans shouted: "Death to Vinicius."

It is noteworthy that Vinicius scored two goals during the match and went to celebrate in front of the Osasuna fans to respond to their chants against him.
