FootballAfter experiencing racism on numerous occasions during this La Liga campaign, the enraged Brazilian winger expressed his frustration on Twitter, referring to Spain as a 'nation plagued by racism'.
"It wasn't the first time, nor the second, nor the third. Racism is normal in La Liga. The competition thinks it's normal, the Federation does too, and the opponents encourage it. I'm so sorry.
"The championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano and Messi today belongs to racists. A beautiful nation which welcomed me and that I love but which agreed to export the image of a racist country to the world. I'm sorry for the Spaniards who don't agree, but today, in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists.
"And unfortunately, for everything that happens each week, I have no defence. I agree. But I am strong, and I will go to the end against racists. Even if far from here.
