The incidents of racial abuse against Vinicius Junior have sparked significant concern within the Spanish soccer community. During Real Madrid’s recent match against Valencia, Vinicius experienced racial taunts, leading to interruptions in the game and ultimately his expulsion from the match.

Three teenagers from Valencia were arrested earlier for racially charged insults and gestures directed at Vinicius during the match, which is being investigated as a hate crime. The match was disrupted as Vinicius faced racial slurs, including being called a “monkey.”

In a separate incident, four individuals were detained in Madrid for allegedly hanging a dummy resembling Vinicius wearing a Real Madrid jersey on a bridge in January. These arrests were made as part of efforts to combat racial discrimination in football.

Vinicius has been subjected to racial abuse from fans on multiple occasions during La Liga matches, with the recent incident prompting widespread condemnation. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva voiced his support for Vinicius and called for action against racism in football stadiums.

While La Liga has requested greater authority to impose sanctions against racism in Spanish football, current regulations limit their ability to do so. The Spanish Football Federation president, Luis Rubiales, acknowledged the existence of racism within the country and emphasized the need for collective efforts to address it.
