Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, commented on the incident involving his player Vinicius during the match against Valencia.
Ancelotti said in his post-match statements, "La Liga has a problem with racism.
They cannot scream at Vinicius like monkey chants, and if that happens, the match should be stopped." He added, There is no other way because the image is bad.
I don't want to talk about football; I want to talk about what happened.
It's clear, a stadium screaming at a player, and the coach plans to take him off. I told him it's unfair for you to be the victim.
You have to continue
Ancelotti further stated, They showed him a red card after aggressive interventions.
La Liga has a problem with this racism.
For me, Vinicius is the most important player in the world. The match should have been stopped.
