Vinicius Jr: Racist abuse means Brazil winger feels 'less like playing'
Brazil winger Vinicius Jr says he feels "less and less" like playing football because of the repeated racist abuse he has suffered.
Last season there were 10 such incidents against the 23-year-old reported to prosecutors by La Liga.
During an emotional news conference on Monday, Vinicius added he would not be forced to leave Real Madrid and Spain and let racism win.
However, he said he was finding it "hard to move forward" from the abuse.
