The 32-year-old Brazil international was targeted by two different users and he highlighted the messages on Instagram with the caption:"Something needs to change! The fight against racism continues."

Willian is the second Black Arsenal player to face abuse this week after forward Eddie Nketiah was sent a racist message on Twitter ahead of Thursday's Europa League last-32 tie against Benfica.
