Overview

• Valencia CF filed a complaint in Valencia’s Examining Court No. 1 against Netflix and producer Conspiraçao Filmes over the Vinícius Jr. documentary.
• The suit alleges an invasion of the club’s right to honor and seeks monetary damages, subtitle corrections and on-screen inclusion of the judge’s eventual ruling.
• The club contends the film used a TikTok clip that labels crowd chants as “mono” instead of the widely heard “tonto, tonto” from the May 21, 2023 match.
• Valencia says it demanded an immediate rectification in June after the documentary’s release, but Netflix declined to edit the contested segments.
• As context, three supporters were later identified and convicted for racist abuse in that match, receiving eight-month prison terms and stadium bans.
