Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior, center, is restrained as he argues with Valencia's Selim Amallah at the end of the La Liga soccer match between Valencia and Real Madrid at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia, Spain, Saturday, March 2, 2024. Vinícius Júnior clenched his right fist and raised it high above his head after scoring at Mestalla Stadium, posing for a moment so everyone could see him. The symbolic gesture came nearly a year after the Real Madrid forward was on that same field with tears in his eyes after being racially abused by some Valencia fans.
