It was last June 2023 when the official announcement of this project was made.
Although the audiovisual material will focus on the process that the Brazilian went through to get to where he has as a player, it will also focus in one of the most complicated moments that Vinicius has had to live through, and this is the successive moments in which he has been the victim of racist insults. “One of the biggest names in world football,” were the words with which the documentary was announced on the digital platform.

What happened?
A group of fans took on the task of devoting a series of insults to the Brazilian player, including the word ‘monkey’ repeatedly, due to his skin color and nationality.. The people who did this were identified fairly quickly and punished by the club. But this was not the end of said episode, since Real Madrid, in Brazil and Vinicius himself, took an important and relevant part in this situation to start a campaign against racism on the football fields, and evidently on the day a day.
On the occasion of one of the most complicated moments in the Brazilian player’s career, it was announced that part of the documentary will take place in Mestalla next Saturday, March 2, when Valencia and Real Madrid meet again on the field after more than half a year.
At that time, the arrival of the merengue team to the centenary stadium was marked by racist chants with the clear objective of going against Vinicius. at all costs. The most radical Valencian fans, some of whom are prohibited from entering the Mestalla, shouted “Vinicius, you are a monkey” when the Brazilian got off the bus where he was transported along with his dressing room companions.
Vinicius was having a very good game, doing a great job as he is used to, seeking to unbalance his rivals, protesting every fall provoked by the Valencia players and added to all the shouts against him from the stands, it was only having the effect that the player’s temper was at its peak and at any moment he could explode.
The situation got even worse.
In one play, Vinicius went in from the wing, was able to reach the rival area and Comert, who was in front of the play, kicked the ball thrown across the stands. and hit the one that the Brazilian player had in his possession and with which the match was being played. The main referee De Burgos Bengoetxea did not hesitate to caution the Valencia player and pointed out the infraction.
However, when it seemed that everything had been resolved, Vinicius heard racist insults from the stands and immediately identified the author of them.; The forward approached the billboard to face those who were insulting him, in the company of his teammates, his compatriot Militao and also Lucas Vázquez.
De Burgos Bengoetxea stopped the match and from the stadium’s public address system they asked for respect towards the players of the visiting team and the racist protocol was immediately activated that dictates the LaLiga regulations; a total of 8 minutes without playing until the game could be renewed.
Vinicius, in his intention to recover the ball, pressured Musah as much as he could and goalkeeper Mamardashvili came out of the goal to reproach the Brazilian for his action.. Tempers heated up once again and Hugo Duro grabbed Vinicius by the neck and he elbowed him and slapped him. The VAR reviewed the play and the Madrid player went to the dressing rooms and was sent off.
On the way to the locker room, Vinicius Júnior addressed the Mestalla audience making “Go to Second” gestures. being escorted by his teammate Lucas Vázquez who, along with the rest of the members of the white team, prevented the Valencian bench from attacking the player.
