Vinícius makes peace with Valencia fans

On January 4, 2025By Littum

One of the most interesting aspects of the match between Valencia and Real Madrid taking place today: 3 January at the Mestalla stadium is Vinicius. The “7” returns to a stadium where he does not have very good memories, which he was subjected to racist insults there… as well as an assault on the field.

But the context in which this game between the two Spanish football entities occurs, remember theirs competitive situationprevents the controversy surrounding Vinícius from being the focus of discussion. DANA’s tragedy still hovers over the affected area and leaves its mark on a Valencia that gave everything to help those in need.

Really, the club decided to offer the Mestalla to be used as a base and storage location for food, supplies, and materials needed for reconstruction. With football as an accessory, especially when lives are at stake, Real Madrid also did not hesitate to fulfill its civic duty. That gesture has not gone unnoticed in the capital of Turia.

Although boos for Vinícius will be dominant in the coming years at the Mestalla stadium, this Friday’s match will be more “peaceful” than expected. Because “7” from Madrid was one of the first to remember those affected by DANA, distance himself from any controversy and know how to distinguish the different situations experienced.

There are more important things

Not only because of what happened at the end of October 2024. His runner-up finish in the Ballon d’Or would have made him a target taunts and targeting from a fanbase that has not held him in high regard for years. With a background in DANA and the free fall that Valencia has experienced for some time now, the focus is on solving internal problems.

The initiative proposed by many fans of the Levantine club, empty the Mestalla throughout the matchhave found relative support. Thus it seems the stands will be empty until the 19th minute to protest against the current board of directors and the club’s owner, Peter Lim.

That is why Vinícius has lost the negative appearance it placed him at the center of all the controversies about the merengue visit to the Mestalla. The tense climate that has been experienced recently has subsided more than expecteda gesture that Real Madrid greatly appreciates and wants to maintain in the future. The only negative point is that it has come, among other things, due to one tragedy that has cost many lives.

In any case, Real Madrid will rely on Vinícius to take the three points from the Mestalla. The visit to Valencia’s stronghold is always a complex match for Carlo Ancelotti’s players, but there is no room for error. Because the leadership of LaLiga is at stake: it is an excellent opportunity to be two points ahead of Atlético de Madrid.
