- Followed through on vow to keep celebrating
WHAT HAPPENED? The dance moves came hours after a racist chant from a group of Atletico Madrid supporters, as well as comments from president of Spanish football agents Pedro Bravo earlier in the week. Members of the Brazil national team, both past and present, have rallied behind Vinicius Junior.
