Vinicius Junior Choked and Sent Off in Wild Scenes Amid Fresh Racism Allegations

• Vinicius Jr was shown a red card during Real Madrid's 1-0 defeat by Valencia
• The Brazilian was subjected to more discriminatory comments from fans
• It comes as LaLiga filed eight complaints to authorities after he suffered abuse

Vinicius Junior appeared to be choked before being shown a red card during Real Madrid's 1-0 defeat to Valencia on Sunday.

The 22-year-old winger was sent off after VAR deemed him to have slapped opponent Hugo Duro.

Another alleged incident of racial abuse by a fan inside the Mestalla had incensed the dynamic Brazilian forward.

According to Goal, Valencia had a 1-0 lead with only a few minutes left when, in an odd turn of events, a second ball was tossed onto the field to prevent Vinicius from having a chance to score.

Vini suffers racial abuse

When Vinicius was subjected to racial insults during a game that was already tense, he refused to continue playing and even pointed out the abuser in the audience.

The game resumed after fans were addressed and told to stop any and all racial chanting, according to CBS, before another stoppage in play where tension increased even further.
