Vinicius Jr. has become one of the best players in the world, of that there is no doubt. The Brazilian winger has established himself as a star at Real Madrid, a club with which he has already won a Champions League and a couple of league titles. His talent is undeniable, but beyond that the Brazilian has not fared very well when playing in other stadiums in Spain, where he has already had very serious incidents with rival fans.

The fact is that many in Spain consider Vinicius Jr. as a provocative player towards rivals, which some use as an excuse to justify the attitudes held against him. Vini himself has accused on multiple occasions that he has suffered acts of racism in several La Liga stadiums and both his teammates, as well as his coach Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid itself as an institution, have expressed their solidarity with him and have publicly stated their rejection of such acts against the Brazilian.

Likewise, Real Madrid fans support their star player and defend him in these unfortunate situations. However, now the roles could be reversed, as Vinicius Jr. will play at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, the home of the Merengue team, but will do so as a visitor when the Brazilian national team faces Spain in a friendly match on March 26, in which the talented Brazilian player is expected to be present in front of what would otherwise be his fans.

Many will have their eyes on that match between Brazil and Spain, as there is the possibility of Vinicius Jr. getting booed or worse at the stadium he calls home. However, it seems that he is not thinking about that and has made it clear that he is very happy to be able to play at Real Madrid's stadium in the Brazil jersey. "It will be great a great feeling to be able to play at the Bernabéu, at my home, along with most of the Real Madrid fans in the Brazil national team shirt," he said.

Dani Carvajal, Vinicius Jr.'s Real Madrid teammate and Spain international, spoke about the duel he will have against his teammate in the match between Spain and Brazil. "Vinicius has done practically everything well, congratulate him and keep it up and that the next Spain Brazil is not so good but for him. I will have to suffer him and hopefully I can stop him," he said.
