LaLiga Condemns Racist Campaign Targeting Vinícius Júnior at Madrid Derby

The league calls for police action against social media promoters encouraging masked fans to racially abuse the Real Madrid forward.

LaLiga has urged police to arrest individuals behind a social media campaign inciting racist abuse against Vinícius Júnior at Sunday's derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
The campaign encourages fans to wear masks to evade identification while participating in racist chants and insults.
Vinícius Júnior has been a frequent target of racist slurs in away games, including a January 2023 incident where an effigy of him was hung from a bridge.
Four individuals were arrested for the effigy incident and face up to four years in prison.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti emphasized that the justice system is handling the issue, allowing the team to focus on the game.
