– international sports, latest sports news, local games and international games

Atlético de Madrid will face rival Real Madrid this Sunday (29), at home, at the Metropolitano Stadium, in a game valid for the 8th round of the Spanish championship. The duel between the teams has been marked by racist provocations coming from the stands, directed at the player Vinícius Júnior. LaLiga has committed to taking strict measures against fans who commit any type of offense against the athlete.

LaLiga statement

In an interview given to Brazilian media outlets, the authorities responsible for taking care of the championship's structure reaffirmed their anti-racist stance and guaranteed that all precautions will be taken. In La Liga we have a zero tolerance policy towards any type of crime in games, both inside and outside the stadiums. All cases have been investigated and/or reported to the competent bodies and authorities”, confirmed the competition.

Still complementing, the Spanish championship stated that it does not have the power to sanction clubs, fans or players, but said that if there are insults or prejudiced acts during the match, those who carry out them will be reported and immediate arrest will be requested from the police authorities present at the stadium.

LaLiga has already taken several measures regarding racial slurs against black players who compete in the competition. In the event of any similar behavior, the game may be stopped and, if persistent, the match will be suspended and rescheduled for another date.

Persecution against Vini Jr

Atlético fans launched a kind of campaign against the Brazilian on social media, encouraging fans to go and watch the match with masks on so as not to recognize lip reading, thus avoiding the identification of racist insults. LaLiga has already announced that fans who try to enter wearing a mask will be blocked and permanently banned from watching the club's games at the stadium.

Vinícius has already been the target of racism by Atletico fans four times. The first was in September 2022, when insults could be heard coming from inside and outside the stadium, where the player was called a “monkey”. The act was recorded by the fans themselves, but the case was filed by the Hate Prosecutor's Office in Madrid on the grounds that, although the insults were contextualized as racist, they do not constitute a crime against a person's dignity.

The second case had great repercussion and occurred in January 2023, when Atlético fans hung a hanging doll above the stadium, dressed in a Vini shirt, with a sign reading “Madrid hates Real”. The investigation is being processed in court.

The third case did not occur directly against the attacker, but against a Brazilian woman in September last year. The young woman was wearing a shirt with the player's name on it and, at the time, was insulted by a supporter of the rival team, resulting in a process that is still ongoing.

The fourth and final situation happened recently, in a Copa del Rey match. Atlético fans, before the classic, began to compare him to a monkey. Atlético de Madrid alerted fans through loudspeakers around the Metropolitano with anti-racist messages. The Madrid Public Prosecutor's Office has started an investigation, but there are still no apparent results.
