Scandal in El Clasico: Vinicius Condemns Racist Attacks on Lamine Yamal

In the aftermath of the El Clasico incident where Lamine Yamal faced racist abuse at Bernabeu, Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior publicly defended his fellow player.

During the recent clash between “Barcelona” and “Real Madrid”, the young prodigy of the Catalan club, Lamine Yamal, became the target of racist insults from the fans of the capital's team. After the match, Real Madrid's forward Vinicius Junior took a firm stand against his supporters' actions, expressing solidarity with the opposing player.

“An abominable act occurred at the Bernabeu – racist taunts directed at a player. This is unacceptable, and such individuals cannot go unpunished in our society. My full support goes out to Lamine, Ansu, and Raphinha. Madrid and the police must take steps to identify and deal with the culprits!” – the Brazilian wrote on social media X.

Some time ago, shortly before the match between “Real Madrid” and “Barcelona”, the president of La Liga, Javier Tebas, voiced concerns about potential racism incidents in the upcoming Clasico. Likely, he was simply highlighting a widespread issue that is increasingly manifesting in the Spanish league recently.
