Real Madrid ahead Vinícius Jr. accused LaLiga of “doing nothing” about racism at matches after the Brazil star gave the impression to be racially abused throughout Real’s 2-Zero win at Real Valladolid on Friday.
“Racists still keep going to the stadiums and keep following closely the biggest club in the world and the Liga keeps doing nothing about it,” the Real star wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
“I shall keep my head held high and will keep celebrating my victories and those of Real Madrid.”
Videos on social media confirmed some followers shouting abuse and throwing objects on the 22-year-old as he walked behind the objective after being substituted.
In a press release, LaLiga stated it had recognized “racist insults” posted on social media by some followers on the Estadio de Zorrilla and that the offenses will probably be reported to the Anti-Violence Commission and the Public Prosecutor’s Office for hate crimes.
The statement read: “LaLiga will continue to lead the fight against the scourge of racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sport, not only with words but also with actions …”
In September 2022, racist chanting from a bunch of Atletico Madrid followers in the direction of Vinícius Jr. was caught on digicam forward of the Madrid derby.
That similar month Vinícius Jr. had condemned what he described as racist criticism he had obtained for his dancing objective celebrations.
