La Liga has once again condemned the racist abuse aimed at Vinicius Junior, the Brazilian winger from Real Madrid, and confirmed that the club is actively aiding authorities to identify those responsible. The confrontation occurred during the recent match against Mallorca at Son Moix, prompting a clear, united response from the league and the hosting club to pursue accountability and safeguard the matchday atmosphere for fans and players alike.
In a morning update, La Liga detailed the events from the Sunday fixture and highlighted its use of all available tools in partnership with Mallorca to locate the individuals involved. The league emphasized that the identification process is moving rapidly, inviting any supporter who has footage, photos, or other information to come forward directly to La Liga to assist with the investigation and help bring the culprits to justice.
The organization underscored its firm stance against racism, stating it will file necessary complaints and participate in person to reinforce sports values both on the field and in the stands. La Liga reiterated its commitment to promoting inclusive behavior and a positive culture in football, recognizing that a welcoming environment strengthens the sport for players, fans, and communities across North America and beyond.
The latest incident adds to a string of episodes that have sparked wider discussion, including prior offences observed ahead of the Valladolid game and the Copa del Rey derby against Atletico Madrid. In response, the State Commission against Violence convened to review the measures in place, working with representatives from the Office of the State Attorney General to shape a framework for prosecuting such conduct. Officials stressed that these actions undermine the fan experience and cast a shadow over the sport, making proactive enforcement a priority for stadium safety and public order.
The broader context includes concerns raised after a banner directed at Real Madrid appeared and a doll sporting Vinicius’s shirt was spotted on a bridge near Ciudad Deportiva de Valdebebas in the lead up to the Copa del Rey quarterfinal derby with Atletico Madrid. Leaders from football authorities and law enforcement have used these moments to remind fans that discriminatory behavior has no place, and they have highlighted ongoing efforts to educate supporters, strengthen reporting channels, and ensure swift, fair responses when incidents occur.
