Vinicius Junior welcomed the eight-month prison sentences handed down on Monday to three Valencia fans for racially abusing him during a La Liga match last year. “This first criminal conviction in Spanish history is not for me. It’s for all black people,” the Real Madrid and Brazil attacker posted on social media. “But, as I’ve always said, I’m not a victim of racism. I’m a destroyer of racists. Let the other racists be afraid, ashamed and hide in the shadows. Otherwise, I’ll be here to collect the debt,” he wrote.
