Real Madrid’s Brazilian forward Vinicius Jr has accused La Liga of not doing anything about racist fans at matches after videos on social media showed fans shouting and throwing objects at Real Valladolid on Friday night.
La Liga issued a statement condemning all forms of hate speech and said it was following incidents of racism at matches.
Vinicius was seen being abused at the Jose Zorrilla stadium in Valladolid as he walked past the fans after being substituted during Real Madrid’s 2-0 win.
“Racists continue to go to the stadium and watch the biggest club in the world up close and La Liga continues to do nothing,” Vinicius wrote on Twitter.
“I will continue with my head held high and celebrate my victory and that of Madrid.”
In September, Atletico Madrid fans were filmed directing racist chants at the 22-year-old outside the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium before a match against Real.
The league said in a statement that it was reviewing the events of Friday’s game.
“La Liga has detected racist insults from the Zorrilla stadium, which were published on social networks,” the Spanish top league said.
“This fact will be reported to the Anti-Violence Commission and the Public Prosecutor’s Office for hate crimes, as has been done on other occasions,” he said.
The league detailed how it had dealt with incidents of racist abuse towards players in the past and said it would continue to fight the “diseases of violence, racism, xenophobia and sporting intolerance”.
