Vinicius Junior refused to Shake Hands with Benfica Players during the RMA vs BEN UCL Knockout Play-off match.
Hearts skipped a beat across the stadium when, during the pre-match handshakes, Vinicius Junior refused to shake hands with the Benfica players. But that was only the beginning.
Today marks the second leg of the UEFA Champions League knockout playoffs, and the entire football world is buzzing following the racism controversy that marred the first leg. After the disgusting racial abuse hurled at Vini, Real Madrid fans were out in full force to take a stand. They unfurled massive anti-racism banners that clearly shook the Benfica camp.
Vini’s refusal to shake hands has sent a clear message that he is not over the insults he faced. It shows that today, the battle isn't just on the pitch, but against prejudice itself.
Did Vini do the right thing by refusing the handshake?
