Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has vowed to keep his goal dancing celebrations as they show "the happiness of a black Brazilian in Europe".
The talented 22-year-old was targeted with a racist slur by agent Pedro Bravo, who said during an El Chiringuito discussion of the Brazil international that "in Spain, you have to respect rivals and stop playing the monkey".
Following a backlash alleging that this was a racist stereotype, Bravo has subsequently apologised on social media by claiming that he misused a metaphor. It has opened a discussion across Spain and further afield of the language and attitude applied towards footballers with racial undertones.
