• The five-time World champions took to the field for the friendly against Guinea
• Vinicius has suffered many racists attacks most recently against Valencia in La Liga

Vinicius Junior’s ordeal in La Liga has prompted the Brazil national team to honour the 22-year-old forward during their international friendly game against Guinea.

The Real Madrid winger took a swipe at La Liga, claiming the Spanish league "belongs to racists" after suffering too many racist incidents over the course of the 2022/23 campaign.

According to Goal, Brazil lined up in an all-black kit for the first time on Saturday against Guinea as part of an anti-racism campaign and a show of support for Vinicius.

The Selecao squad stood behind boards that showed the message, "With racism, there is no game", as a minute's silence was observed with players from both sides kneeling.
