Real Madrid vs Mallorca match was not just a upset for Madrid's loss but also for the inappropriate behaviour of fans and Players of Mallorca. A video published by DAZN captured the sound of at least one fan calling Vinicius by appropriate names. "Once again intolerable racist insults were observed against Real Madrid player Vinicius Jr," said the Spanish top flight in a statement Monday. LaLiga is working with the home club to identify those responsible, with the aim of taking the appropriate legal measures."

Spanish police are currently investigating a January incident before Real Madrid faced Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey. Atletico fans were filmed chanting racist abuse at Vinicius in September 2022 but Madrid prosecutors did not press charges.

In December after being abused during a win at Valladolid Vinicius hit out at LaLiga for continuing "to do nothing". "Racists keep going to games and watching the greatest club in the world up close and La Liga continues to do nothing," Vinicius said.

"I will carry on with my head held high and celebrating my victories and those of Madrid."- Vini said. Vinicius was fouled 10 times during the clash with Mallorca and has suffered more fouls than any other player in Europe's top five leagues this season. " I think everything that has happened and is happening is not Vini's fault. Vini just wants to play football, and beyond that, there's an atmosphere of provocation. They foul him, that is what is happening," said Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti on Monday.

The coach was speaking about the tension around Vinicius during the match before the racist abuse came to light. "Everyone thinks that it is Vini's fault but we have to look at the game, look at what happened today"
