Albacete fans repeatedly displayed racist behavior towards Vinicius during yesterday's Copa del Rey match. Earlier, we reported that Albacete supporters were chanting that Vinicius was a monkey. Later, another incident occurred.
Details: According to Diario AS, one of the Albacete fans threw a banana peel towards the Brazilian forward during the celebration of the third goal. The incident happened in full view of everyone present, but the player ignored the provocation and continued playing despite the abuse.
The club responded swiftly to the incident: Albacete publicly condemned what happened and launched a search for the offender. The National Police's central operations unit has also started an investigation. Video footage and other materials are being examined to identify the culprit, obtain explanations, and take appropriate action.
It's worth noting that the Copa del Rey round of 16 match ended in a sensational 3-2 victory for Albacete. This was the first match under Real Madrid's new head coach, Alvaro Arbeloa.
Reminder: Alvaro Arbeloa commented on Real Madrid's shocking Copa del Rey exit, stating that he does not regret his decisions.
