Through their official media, Real Madrid and Vinicius Jr. have condemned the racist insults at the Bernabéu against Barça players during the Clásico

Lamine Yamal, Ansu Fati and Raphinha were victims of a regrettable and embarrassing incident at the Clásico on October 26. The FC Barcelona players were subjected to racist insults by a section of Real Madrid fans, who dedicated degrading and disgusting insults to them such as "fucking black" or "fucking mena, go sell handkerchiefs at a traffic light."

After LaLiga took a position and reported that it will send a formal complaint after these despicable events, Real Madrid and Vinicius Jr. have come out to speak out against the videos and the detestable shouts at the Barça players. Through his 'X' account, the Real Madrid '7' called for the culprits to be punished.

"It is regrettable what happened yesterday at the Bernabéu with racist insults. There is no place for these criminals in our society. All my support to Lamine, Ansu and Raphinha. I know that Madrid and the police will do things to identify and punish the guilty!!"
