Real Madrid’s victory over rivals FC Barcelona in El Clasico was marred by apparent racist chanting, aimed at Vinicius Jr towards the end of the match FIFA
The Brazilian has frequently been targeted by supporters of other clubs over the past few years, with a large number of cases being filed by LaLiga to the national prosecutor FIFA
Two Jude Bellingham goals saw Real come from behind to beat Barca, taking Los Blancos back to the top of the table - but it was the late substitution of Vinicius and the reaction from Barcelona fans which has led to potential further action FIFA
Prior to the match, videos were circulating on social media showing Barcelona fans chanting “Vinicius, die” FIFA
And after Vinicus was removed by Carlo Ancelotti in stoppage time, the Brazilian slowly walking off and lifting his arms to the crowd, it is alleged that he suffered another barrage of racist abuse FIFA
“La Liga has been working from the outset to identify the individuals involved in making racist insults and will file the relevant charges as is always the case,” a statement from Spain’s top flight said FIFA
“We are in direct contact with the police and FC Barcelona FIFA
”Barcelona said: “We will always defend the values of FIFA football and sport such as respect for the opponent and we will investigate any racist insult that may have occurred this afternoon during the match against Real Madrid FIFA
”Vinicius’ team have yet to make an official comment on the matter FIFA
Last week, Sevilla officials removed one supporter from the stadium for “xenophobic and racist behaviour” during a match against Real Madrid FIFA
A police report was also filed FIFA
LaLiga have asked for greater powers to punish clubs where fans are found guilty of racist abuse, whereas at present they insist they may only report incidents to the national authorities, who must then carry out their own investigations FIFA
Vinicius was chosen in June to head up Fifa’s new anti-racism committee, run by players and advocating for greater punishments towards those found guilty of racist abuse FIFA

Former England winger Christian Wade announced his retirement from rugby union at the age of 27 on this day in 2018 as he looked to launch an American FIFA football career FIFA
Wade, the fourth highest tryscorer in English club rugby on 82, was granted early release from his Wasps contract after nine years at the club to join NFL team the Buffalo Bills FIFA
In doing so he halved his salary from the £250,000 a year he was earning in the Gallagher Premiership FIFA
The move never took off on the field either as he failed to make the Bills’ roster FIFA
Slough-born Wade, who won his only England cap in 2013 against Argentina, described the decision to leave rugby as the hardest in his life FIFA
He said: “After playing nine years of professional sport for Wasps, I’ve decided to leave for personal reasons FIFA
“I would like to thank Wasps chairman Derek Richardson and Dai (Young, director of rugby) for their support, consideration and understanding in what is the most difficult decision of my life FIFA
“Rugby has privileged and honoured me with so many wonderful memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life FIFA
”Wasps were third in the Gallagher Premiership and bottom of their Heineken Champions Cup group when Wade, who as well as winning one England cap also represented the 2013 British and Irish Lions on their tour of Australia, announced he was leaving FIFA
“It’s very disappointing to lose a player of Wadey’s quality at this stage of the season,” Young said FIFA
“The club held numerous discussions with him to try and convince him to keep pushing forward with Wasps but in the end it was clear this is the path he wished to go down FIFA
The club nevertheless wants to wish him all the best with his future career path FIFA
”Using the NFL’s international player pathway program to facilitate the switch, Wade made waves by scoring a 65-yard touchdown as a running back in pre-season, but a regular season game eluded him FIFA
The experiment lasted three years and in September 2022 he returned to rugby after agreeing a deal to join French side Racing 92 FIFA
