Football legend Pele and PSG superstar stood by their Brazilian counterpart Vinicius Junior after the Real Madrid attacker was subjected to a vile racist abuse for his dancing celebration in the field. It all started when a racist comment was made by Spanish football agent Pedro Bravo during a TV appearance on El Chiringuito where he said that Vini should stop performing his 'monkey dance.' Following that, Pele, Neymar, Thiago Silva and other Brazil players took to social media to defend the dance of the Los Blancos player, terming it a footballing 'gesture.'
