There are reports that during Madrids game in Valencia Vinicius Junior was the target of racial slurs from large sections of the Valencia support.
He's accused Spain of being a racist country and said the matter of racism is in La Liga is fairly common. He further said that the Spanish Federation and rival teams encourage such behaviour.
Carlo Ancelotti was quoted after the game as saying
"What we saw today is unacceptable. An entire stadium chanting racial slurs. I told the referee that he should have stopped the match".
It really doesn't look good for La Liga.
There are isolated incidents that rear their ugly heads in English football every now and then such as the incident with Son who was abused by a Chelsea fan but they are isolated incidents carried out by individuals. Whats happening in La Liga seems to be ingrained in the footballing culture there and on a different level all together.
