Repeated racist abuse of Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior by opposing fans in Spain led to both international football federations working together to organise the game and reinforce their commitment against violence and racism under the theme 'the same skin.'
A match at the Mestalla between Real Madrid and Valencia last season was stopped during the second half after the Brazil international identified a fan in the crowd behind the Valencia goal as having racially abused him. In social media posts after that game, Vinícius said that 'racism is normal in LaLiga' and said 'in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists.'
