One of the key points of the document is the unconditional support for Vinicius Jr. The club made a point of publicly thanking the displays of affection and the unanimous support the Brazilian received from the international football community after once again being targeted by insults.

Real Madrid reaffirms its historic commitment against intolerance. The board guarantees that it will continue working side by side with institutions to eradicate violence and hatred, both in football stadiums and in society in general.

UEFA is expected to analyze the evidence presented in the coming days. Depending on the severity of the reports, Benfica may face financial sanctions or the partial closure of its stadium.
