'All my support' – Vinicius Junior joins Barcelona stars subjected to racist abuse during Clasico
Saturday's Clasico match, which ended in a 4-0 victory for Barcelona, was overshadowed by racist incidents. Lamine Yamal was destined to score the Catalans' third goal at the Santiago Bernabeu, and later, it was also confirmed that Lamine Yamal, Alejandro Balde and Ansu Fati are also subjected to abuse.
Vinicius Junior, who himself has been targeted by racist abuse on several occasions in recent years, took to X to address the situation. He gave his support to the Barcelona affected actors, while also putting their trust in those who will find those responsible for the reprehensible insults.
“It is regrettable what happened yesterday at the Bernabeu with racist insults. There is no place for these criminals in our society. All my support to Lamine, Ansu and Raphinha. I know that Real Madrid and the police will do things to identify and punish those responsible!!

Recently, Vinicius asked Spain to be stripped of their hosting rights if their racism problem did not improve. This latest incident shows that there is still a long way to go before things start to improve.
