La Liga reports Barcelona fan for aiming racial abuse at Vinicius Junior

Vinicius was picked ahead of Eden Hazard to start in the fixture against Barcelona owing to his prolific form. The Brazilian was lively throughout the match and helped his team clutch the victory in hostile territory. Off the pitch, things were not as rosy as he was subject to racist abuse by some section of the home supporters. La Liga has condemned the abuse directed at Vinicius and reported the perpetrators in question to the Spanish authorities. La Liga released a statement explaining their intent to report hate crimes to the relevant authorities.

"In view of the events that took place in the game at the Camp Nou last Sunday, in which a local fan reprimanded Real Madrid player Vinicius Junior with racist insults. LaLiga will proceed to report hate crimes to the local public prosecutor's office in Barcelona in the event that they constitute the offense under Article 510 of the Penal Code. LaLiga will appear as a special accusation of cooperation in the fight against any kind of racist or xenophobic act or behaviour."
