Original Title: Vinicius Jr could face legal action over his Netflix documentary as Valencia argue that his documentary misrepresents the alleged racism situation and could damage the club’s image worldwide. The club insists that the real chants were ‘Tonto, tonto!’ and not “mono, mono!” which was portrayed in it.
The Netflix documentary ‘Baila, Vini’, which means ‘Dance, Vini’ in English, is about Vinícius Junior and how he preapres himself to compete at the highest level. Footage and subtitles in the Netflix documentary suggest Vinicius was targeted with racial slurs, specifically, ‘Mono, mono!’, which translates to ‘Monkey, monkey!’, during a heated La Liga match against Valencia. The club insists that the real chant was ‘Tonto, tonto!’, translating to ‘Idiot, idiot!’. Valencia acknowledged and condemned the racist behaviour of three fans, but argue that the documentary misrepresents the situation and could damage the club’s image worldwide.
