Brazil forward Rodrigo was subjected to racist abuse after the 1-0 loss to Argentina at the famous Maracana Stadium in World Cup qualifiers. Argentina's supporters hurled racist abuse at him on social media.
The incident started from the Brazil-Argentina match last Wednesday Bangladesh time. Rodrigo was involved in a dispute with Argentina's World Cup-winning captain Lionel Messi in that controversial match. According to media reports, Rodrigo said to the Argentine players, "You are behaving like cowards." In response, Messi said, "We are the world champions. How can we be cowards? Take care of your face.'
After this incident, Argentina fans attacked Rodrigo on social media after the match that day. About which Rodrigo writes on his social media, "Racists are always active. My social media is full of insults and bad things. If we don't do what they want, if we don't behave as they think, if the jersey we wear annoys them, if we don't keep our heads down, then we are attacked.'
Real Madrid star Rodrigo didn't stop there. He then wrote, 'When we are in what they consider their place, the racists attack us with all their criminal behavior. But their misfortune is that we will not stop.
After seeing this post of Rodrigo, Neymar wrote on his Instagram, "Your flare-ups annoy them." Never stop.'
