A dance group made up of children from Uganda paid tribute to Vinícius Júnior with a video published this Wednesday (18), one day after the Brazilian player reported yet another case of racism suffered on the field.

The Ghetto Kids recorded a choreography in which its members appear wearing the Real Madrid forward's jersey and dancing near a corner flag, just as he did after scoring a goal in Wednesday's (17) match against Benfica.

"We love you, Vini Jr," wrote the Ghetto Kids in the caption of the video, which resonated throughout the day on social media.

The Brazilian forward suffered the racist offense moments after scoring and celebrating the winning goal for Real Madrid against Benfica at Estádio da Luz.
