Barcelona board member launches scathing attack on Vinicius Jr.: “He deserves a slap”

Vinicius Junior has been in the news for quite some time for being a subject of racial injustice, with various opposition fans hurling racial insults at him time and time again.

The most recent incident took place at the weekend when one Sevilla fan from the stands called him out. Vinicius, though, was extremely impressed by Sevilla’s quick action against the fan.

Vinicius was involved in Real Madrid’s recent 2-1 win over Braga as well. And even though he did not face any racism from the stands, he became the subject of a rather unusual attack from a noted personality within the Barcelona board.

Barcelona board member attacks Vinicius

During the game against Braga, Mikel Camps, the deputy spokesperson of the Barcelona board, launched a scathing attack on the Real Madrid superstar, reports MARCA.

“It’s not racism, he deserves a slap for being a clown and a joker. What do these unnecessary and meaningless bicycles represent in the centre of the field?” Camps wrote in a tweet.

Camps’ heavy reaction towards Vinicius came on the back of an on-field incident that saw the Brazilian try at least ten dribbles in static, in front of opposition defender Serdar.

Unimpressed, Camps called Vinicius out openly, but the way he referred to the racist incidents caused shockwaves throughout the Spanish media.

Tweet deleted

Mikel Camps deleted the questionable tweets minutes later, but many had already taken screenshots.

Camps has not responded to the news reports from Spanish media channels just yet. However, it must be noted that he is often known for his lucid attack against personalities that he does not like.

His tweet against Vinicius Junior, though, should definitely alarm both the player and Real Madrid, just days before they visit Catalonia to face Barcelona.
