An emotional Carlo Ancelotti clashed with Spanish journalists after hitting out at the disgusting racist abuse suffered by Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior in Sunday’s LaLiga clash at Valencia.
The match was paused by the referee after Vinicius pointed out the supporters who were taunting him with ‘monkey’ chants to the referee. The Brazil international was visibly on the verge of tears on the pitch and was clearly incensed, with teammates attempting to quell his anger.
Vinicius was later sent off for violent conduct in added time of his side's 1-0 defeat following an altercation with Valencia striker Hugo Duro – the first red card of his career. Vinicius struck out at his opponent, who had him in a headlock but escaped punishment following a VAR review.
