– Cameroonian Pierre Wibo spoke about the incident in Lisbon between Benfica and Real Madrid, confirming that what happened to Vinicius Junior brought back the painful feelings he personally experienced years ago.
Wepo had been in a similar situation in 2020, when he accused the fourth official during a Champions League match of using a racist slur against him while he was part of the technical staff at Başakşehir.
He said in a radio interview that he felt angry and afraid when he saw the footage, adding that behind every player there is a family that suffers with him, and that what Vinicius is going through is not new but requires real action.
He concluded his message by emphasising that slogans alone are not enough and that football needs decisive action to put a definitive end to such behaviour.
