Real Madrid will face Valencia again in La Liga. The match will be this Saturday (11), at the Santiago Bernabéu. The confrontation marks Vinícius Júnior's first meeting with his opponent after the case of racism that gained prominence in all newspapers around the world. To announce the clash between the teams, the Spanish newspaper Marca created a cover that caught the attention of many.
With Vinícius Júnior in the spotlight, the vehicle published the phrase: "Let us only talk about football". A clear allusion and provocation to the episode that occurred in May in the last Real Madrid x Valencia, last season. At the time, the entire rival's stadium called Flamengo's son "Mono" (monkey in Spanish).
In May, Vinícius suffered a blowout in Spain. Flamengo's son was not satisfied with seeing open cases of racism and was outraged by yet another situation. In the match between Real Madrid and Valencia at the Mestalla stadium, the rival's home, the young player heard racist screams again. The jewel of Mais Querido's base tried to alert the referee of the match, who practically ignored Vini's complaint.
Soon afterwards Vinícius was sent off the field. He was involved in a fight, and Valencia striker Hugo Duro applied a rear naked choke to the young man. The Real Madrid striker retaliated by punching his opponent. The referee ignored the rear naked choke in the analysis and only expelled Vini Jr for the punch.
The images and videos of what happened went around the world and many artists and players supported Vinícius Júnior. Injustice has reached highly relevant politicians, such as President Lula. The Brazilian leader showed solidarity with Flamengo's son more than once.

Tite defined Flamengo and announced the 11 starters who will face Peñarol, this Thursday, at Maracanã, at 7pm. De la Cruz returns to the starting lineup in place of Léo Ortiz, and Alex Sandro and Plata were retained. The duel with the Uruguayans is the first between the teams in the quarter-finals of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.
Alex Sandro and Plata, debutants in last Sunday's classic, remain in the team after having good performances in the draw against Vasco. Gabigol is now out of the relationship due to fibrosis in the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Flamengo, in a statement, reported that the athlete did not suffer any injury in the region. Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not list him for the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
