The captain of the Nigerian women’s national team and FC Barcelona forward, Asisat Oshoala, has urged Vinicius Jr to keep dancing in a show of support to the Real Madrid winger following a racism row.
The 22-year-old Brazil international hit the headlines after he was dragged into a racism controversy and was told to “stop playing the monkey” by an agent in Spain.
This came after Vinicius Jr danced during Los Blancos’s goal celebration against Real Mallorca in a fixture they won 4-1 at Santiago Bernabeu on September 11.

After hitting the back of the net for the second goal, Vinicius Jr danced to celebrate his effort and it did not go down well with the agent.
Despite playing for Real Madrid’s women’s rivals FC Barcelona Femeni in the Primera Division, the 27-year-old Oshoala has joined the growing list of sportsmen and women, who have rallied behind the Selecao international.

And after the game at Metropolitano Stadium which Real won 2-1 courtesy of first-half goals from Rodrygo and Federico Valverde, the team replicated the same celebration dance in support of Vinicius Jr.
Oshoala also returned to her Twitter handle to post;
“The point here is that, the world will always try to force you to accept their belief but STAY FIRM, STAY YOU as far as you ain’t hurting no one.
The world will adjust !!! #Dance #ATMRMA #SayNoToRacism.”
