By Adeleye Kunle

Football legend, Pele, has sent a heartwarming message to Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr after the winger was on the receiving end of a racist remark for his dancing celebration.

Vinicius is known to celebrate the majority of his goals by dancing near the corner flag in front of fans, be it the away or home end of the stadium.

During an appearance on El Chiringuito, Pedro Bravo, the president of Spanish football agents, commented on the Brazilian’s celebration.

Bravo said, “You have to respect your opponents. When you score a goal, if you want to dance Samba, you should go to Sambodromo in Brazil. You have to respect your mates and stop playing the monkey.”
