Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois says he was ready to walk off the pitch at Valencia.

Courtois insists he would've walked if Vini Jr had requested it after a barrage of racial insults during Sunday's defeat.

The Brazilian eventually saw red at the end of the game for slapping Hugo Duro.

Courtois said: "They say crazy things, they told me everything, they make any gesture. People go to the stadium to insult, not to watch football.

"If Vinicius had told me he didn't want to play, I would have left the field with him.

"And in the brawl the first red card had to be drawn for Hugo Duro, who grabbed Vinicius by the neck."
