Former Arsenal defender Gabriel Paulista has defended his own fans after Valencia supporters shouted racist abuse at Vinicius Jr during their game against Real Madrid on Sunday.
The match was temporarily paused after Vinicius pointed out some fans who were taunting him with 'monkey chants' to the referee. The Brazilian was visibly on the verge of tears and was clearly unhappy, with his team-mates attempting to calm him down.
Vinicius was then involved in a melee which saw him grabbed around the neck before being sent off himself for violent conduct as Los Blancos fell to a 1-0 defeat.
