'No place for these criminals in our society!' - Vinicius Junior sends support to Lamine Yamal, Raphinha & Ansu Fati after seeing Barcelona trio targeted with racist insults in El Clasico win at Real Madrid

Barcelona were on song at Santiago Bernabeu as they humiliated Real Madrid in a 4-0 win, thanks a brace from Robert Lewandowski, and one goal each by Raphinha and Yamal. It was a statement night for Hansi Flick's side, however, revelations after the match were made that during the clash Yamal, Raphinha and Ansu were targeted with racial abuse by a group of home supporters. Vinicius has now come out in support of the Barca trio and condemned the "criminals" who abused them.

Responding to Real Madrid's statement regarding the racism on X, the Brazilian said: "It's 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!!"

Real Madrid and La Liga have confirmed plans to take official action against the alleged offenders during the Clasico and have contacted the Hate Section of the Information Brigade of the National Police and also informed the National Police. When contacted for comment by The Athletic, Barcelona also denounced the incident and stated that they want to file a formal complaint with La Liga.

The RFEF also denounced the actions of the group of Real fans and declared on Sunday that it was implementing a zero-tolerance policy against racist violence and insults in stadiums, referring to it as a "social scourge".

"To end violence and insults in sports venues and events, the RFEF will collaborate with all individuals and organisations that are a part of sport and society," the RFEF said in an official statement.
