The Brazilian striker complained of racist abuse from the stands throughout the match and was caught on TV cameras at one point telling his bench that he no longer wanted to play.
“It wasn’t the first time this had happened to him. It is unacceptable. Vinicius is not a problem, Vinicius is a victim,” stated the Italian coach.

“A beautiful nation that welcomed me and that I love, but that agreed to export the image of a racist country to the world,” the Brazilian added in the status.
