LaLiga president Javier Tebas has declared Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr a 'victim".

Tebas has supported Vini Jr against the racist barracking he has received at opposition grounds, however he also hints he'd like the Brazilian to cut down the provocative gestures in games.

He told Movistar+: "Vinicius is a victim. The difference between Vinícius and players of the same race is that he is leading a movement. When someone leads he is always a source of anger and a target.

"He has decided to lead the fight against racism and that leads to that. Regardless about his attitude on the field, which I am not going to give an opinion because I would have to give an opinion about many. I am not Vinicus's father or the coach. Would I like him to improve? Yes, but many others too..."
