– “Racists keep going to games and watching the greatest club in the world up close and La Liga continues to do nothing,” Vinicius said.
– “I will carry on with my head held high and celebrating my victories and those of Madrid. In the end the fault is mine.”
Os racistas seguem indo aos estádios e assistindo ao maior clube do mundo de perto e a @LaLiga segue sem fazer nada…
Seguirei de cabeça erguida e comemorando as minhas vitórias e do Madrid.
No final a culpa é MINHA. 🤙🏿 pic.twitter.com/5ztuTjP4s6

– A La Liga spokesperson said “hate speech has no place” in the league.
– They added: “We are investigating last night’s match and, as always in these cases, will work with the clubs and appropriate authorities to identify and prosecute anyone guilty of hate speech.
– “La Liga has detected videos uploaded to social networks of racist insults from a person, not from groups, and they will be charged as in previous cases.”
– In October 2021 La Liga reported racist insults aimed at Vinicius to the prosecutor’s office.
– This month Spanish prosecutors closed an investigation into racist chants by Atletico fans and said it was not possible to identify those involved.
