Speaking to CNN, Vinicius said: “Today – maybe [some fans] are still racists.

“But nowadays they are afraid to express themselves in the football field, and in places where there are a lot of cameras.

“And with that we will reduce racism, little by little.

“Of course, we won’t be able to end it.

“But I’m already happy that I’m being able to change Spain’s mindset.

“In the club, we talk about it more often.

“Not just me, but all players said that if that happens, the next time everyone has to leave the field so that all of those people who insulted us have to pay a much bigger penalty.

“It’s always very difficult to end a game.

“But with everything that’s been happening, that each time is getting worse.

“We do need to leave the field so things can change as soon as possible.”
