The La Liga: La Liga club Valencia issued a stern statement claiming the documentary titled ‘Vini. Jr’ do not align with reality and have formally demanded an "immediate correction" regarding the events portrayed at their home ground Mestalla Stadium.
Netflix released the documentary on May 15, which explores Vinicius's journey from humble beginnings in Brazil to global stardom at Real Madrid, including his resilience and the racism he has faced in his career.
The La Liga club, which currently occupies the 12th spot in standings, has claimed that the documentary is misleading by its suggestion of widespread racist behaviour among fans during a heated match at Mestalla in May 2023. While three individuals were found guilty of racism, the club argued that the film unfairly generalises the actions of a few to the entire fanbase.
