Jurgen Klopp has labelled any suggestion that the rabid abuse suffered by Vincius Junior in Spain and beyond is the player's fault 'completely insane' ahead of Liverpool's clash with Real Madrid.
Vinicus, 22, has been the victim of near-constant abuse throughout his time in Spain with Real Madrid, with much of it turning truly nasty and racist this season.
Ahead of Real Madrid's clash away at Atletico earlier this season, a home supporter was shown holding up a racist doll depicting the young Brazilian while racist chants and jibes were reported to come from sections of the crowd, outside the ground videos showed supporters chanting 'Vinicius, you are a monkey'.
