Video footage captures moment monkey gesture was aimed towards Vinicius Junior by Sevilla supporter

Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw with Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan was a thoroughly exciting match, and one that both teams felt that they should have won. Unfortunately, it has been overshadowed by another case of racist abuse to take place in Spanish football.

Sevilla ejected a fan from the stadium mid-match for showing “racist and xenophobic behaviour”, while Vinicius Junior also revealed post-match that he had seen another incident of racist abuse involving a young girl.

The incident Vinicius can referred to could be the one shown in the video below. It shows a young Sevilla supporter appearing to aim a monkey gesture towards the Brazilian during a melee between the Sevilla and Real Madrid players.

It is utterly depressing that these incidents continue to happen, and especially when, in this case, the perpetrator is so young. It’s clear to see that more needs to be done to tackle racism in Spain, but whether the authorities do so remains to be seen.

  1. “It is utterly depressing that these incidents continue to happen”

    I find them perfectly logical because nothing is done to prevent them.

    Lets see, we have footage evidence.

    What should be done:

    Sevilla is punished with points deduction and Real gets 3 points. Sevilla also cannot play next 5 home games with crowd.

    There we go, problem solved forever.
    If your human decency doesnt prevents you to act like a monkey to provoke other human being maybe your love for the club will, seeing them lose points will pierce that dense skull of yours and maybe the point will come across.

    1. giving real 3 points punishes all the clubs that had nothing to do with the incident , and weren’t guilty of anything.. makes abs. no sense

      1. It doesn’t make sense to you because you’re stupid, not because it doesn’t make sense by itself.
        Clubs have an obligation to reach out to fans especially in these times where racism stains Spanish football.

        Also the fan is Sevillas fan, not Deportivos. The deduction makes perfect sense because it will imprint fans not to behave like that not to cause harm to their own club they support.

  2. It still remains very frustrating that LaLiga and the Spanish FA condones these behaviours when clearly they can punish clubs involved through points deduction. I think if this continues Vini may be forced to leave Spain,and in the future players like Mbappe would want to think critically before joining a great club that plays in a racist league..Madrid though are doing great by fielding the right choice of players despite their age, nationality or colour, we can only hope more black players don’t get targeted by Spanish racist fans… Hala Madrid!!!! Shame on LaLiga!!!

  3. Ok by ur opinion mc imposters will come to stadium to try to reduce the point of oppositim club. Like a sevilla fan posing to be a madrid fan then racially abusing a sevilla player for he fa to deduct madrid point.

    1. ironic that a racist, scientifically proven to be of lower intellect talks about racism

      i can tell you are not used to think

      in these times of social media nd electronic money, pretending is impossible; good luck hiding your true club identity

      hate crimes warrant investigations

      in short, you are stupid and prove the scientific study with your posts every time

      ha-hha
