"If all black players were like Vinicius, racism would end"

Racism is still very present in society. Last Saturday, Spanish football made headlines around the world because there were 3 regrettable episodes, the victims being Sevilla's Quique Sanchez Flores and 'Huevo' Acuna, and Rayo Majadahonda goalkeeper Cheikh Sarr.

Vinicius, who fights against this scourge, showed his public support for all of them and the Senegalese goalkeeper, who was even expelled for reproaching a fan for insults, highlighted the role of the Brazilian player in interviews he gave to 'El Mundo' and 'El Partidazo de COPE'.

"I support Vini to the end. He has lived it a lot of times and I have always supported him. It's not normal. Stop racism because it has no place in sport, it makes no sense. I am very proud of Vinicius, the way he acts, the way he speaks out. We thank him for supporting us and for fighting against racism. He can't do it alone. If all black players were like him, racism would end", said the goalkeeper.

In relation to the incident itself, Sarr explained what he experienced at that moment when he was being insulted: "In the second half, when we changed pitch, I started to hear some shouts. In the 50th minute they started to make monkey sounds. In the 82nd minute, after conceding the second goal, I went to get some water to drink. Then I heard everything: 'F*cking black guy, f*cking black guy'. Before that there were many other people who insulted, not only me, they also insulted the Spaniards, many people. But then I heard this man.

"I couldn't take it anymore. I was very nervous. I had heard the screams. I am in Ramadan... I wanted to ask him why he was treating me like that, whether or not he had a family and could understand me.  I had no intention of assaulting him at all, not at all. That'
