Vinicius Junior abuse timeline: What happened next for Real Madrid, LaLiga, more

It's Sunday, May 21 at Valencia's Mestalla stadium. It's the 73rd minute, and Real Madrid are 1-0 down. Toni Kroos is about to take a free kick just outside the box. Vinicius Junior isn't looking at Kroos as he sizes up the set piece; he's facing the crowd behind the goal, gesturing toward them and getting more animated by the second.

Valencia captain Jose Gaya, and Real Madrid teammates Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao, go to pull him away. But Vinicius won't stop. He's pointing at a fan in the stand.
