VLL 3-1 BAR: How Raphinha Showed Support To Vinicius During The Game

It is no longer news that Barcelona has won the La Liga title, and for this reason, other games hold little importance. Against Real Valladolid, Barcelona conceded two early first-half goals. Andreas Christensen scored an “own goal” before Larin scored a penalty for Real Valladolid. In the second half, Barcelona continued to dominate the ball possession, but Plata scored Real Valladolid’s third goal. Well, Robert Lewandowski got Barcelona’s consolation goal in the 88th minute.

However, the talking points of the game were Pablo Torre’s display, Xavi Hernandez’s substitutions and squad rotation, and the importance of Lewandowski’s goals in the top scorers’ award battle, but this article will center on how Raphinha showed support to Vinicius during the game. Take a look!

Recall that Vinicius was subjected to racial abuse during the game against Valencia last weekend, and many fans around the world have been showing support. Against Real Valladolid, Raphinha was replaced by Ferran in the 60th minute, and as he walked out of the pitch, the winger took off his shirt. Even though he got a yellow card for this act, his message of support to Vinicius was clear. From the images that surfaced online, Raphinha’s message was, “As Long As The Colour Of The Skin Is More Important Than The Glow Of The Eyes, There Will Be War. We Are Together, Vini.”
