More Vini abuse? LaLiga investigating after Real Madrid match | OneFootball

Terrible news from Spain: According to reports by 'Bild' and 'The Athletic', La Liga is once again investigating after Vinícius Júnior is said to have been the victim of verbal abuse.

According to the reports, the Brazilian was repeatedly insulted and subjected to derogatory chants from the stands during Real's 1-2 away defeat against CA Osasuna.

La Liga is currently reviewing videos in which the chant “Vinicius, muérete”—translated as “Die, Vinicius”—was allegedly shouted repeatedly. The word “tonto,” meaning “fool” or “idiot,” was also heard. 

Even before the match, the attacking player, who scored the temporary equalizer in the 73rd minute, was greeted by the home fans with a chorus of whistles.

Earlier in the week, Vini Jr. had already become a target—both from fans and from an opposing player.

In the Champions League playoffs, Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni allegedly racially abused him. UEFA is currently investigating the case. Unfortunately, the recent incidents involving Vinícius Jr. are nothing new.

Since 2021, La Liga has investigated 26 cases of racist abuse against the Real star. He has repeatedly been targeted by home fans, especially during matches against Osasuna.

Most recently, the league investigated racist incidents at the stadium of the team currently in ninth place in 2024.
