In Spain, seven people have been fined and punished for racially harassing Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior.

Three men were fined five thousand euros and banned from attending sports stadiums for a year. They are being punished for racist remarks toward Vinícius on May 21 in the league match between Valencia and Real Madrid.

Four others were fined 60,000 euros each by Spain’s state commission against violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sport.

In late January, ahead of the cup match between Real and Atlético Madrid, the foursome had hung a black blow-up doll with a Vinícius shirt on a bridge with the text “Madrid hates Real. The men have also been banned from stadiums for two years.
