“There is no place for criminals in our society”. Vinicius supported Yamal after racist scandal
Racist incidents are increasingly widespread in Spain, with Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior often finding himself a target in recent years.
In the latest El Clásico, Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal was also subjected to inappropriate chants from Blancos fans.
Vinícius publicly expressed his support for his Barcelona counterpart, calling for those responsible to be held accountable.
Quote: "It’s disgraceful that racial abuse occurred at the Bernabéu. There is no place for these criminals in our society. My full support goes to Lamine, Ansu, and Raphinha. Madrid and the police will identify and punish those responsible!" the Brazilian wrote on social media platform X.
Recall: Just days before the Real Madrid vs. Barcelona match, La Liga president Javier Tebas voiced concerns over potential racist incidents during El Clásico.
