Real Madrid's fans, after the incident involving the effigy, are expected to support the Brazilian with a large ovation in the 20th minute of the derby against Atletico Madrid.
Vinicius, a few hours before the Madrid derby, was the victim of a racist attack. Atletico Madrid's ultras hung an effigy off a bridge opposite Valdebebas, Real Madrid's training ground. It had the name and shirt number of the Brazilian.
Both La Liga and the RFEF showed him their unconditional support as did Real Madrid. 'Los Blancos' asked for those responsible to be held accountable. They also called it "repugnant' and "regrettable" in the society we live in.
Madrid fans have also decided to show their support for the footballer in the derby. According to 'Marca', the idea is for there to be a huge ovation for him in the 20th minute. That minute has been chosen because of his shirt number.
However, the paper says that this had been planned before that racist incident. It cannot be forgotten that Maffeo of Mallorca got into a spat with Vinicius earlier in the season and he criticised the Brazilian again a few days ago.
