Tiktukno, 15.3/Sport1
Real Madrid announced today (Friday) that it filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Spain, due to the racist calls received by its star Vinicius in the stadiums of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid earlier this week, in games in which it was not a partner at all (Barcelona - Napoli, Atletico - Inter).
"We demand that the people who called be identified and that justice be served with them," the Blancos said.
"We will continue to fight and show zero tolerance in such cases."
"It's a sad reality that these things happen even in games I don't play," tweeted the player.
"I hope these people have already received their punishment," Hussey, tagging UEFA and the Champions League.
But behind the scenes, it turns out that the Brazilian is not satisfied with the club's handling of the matter. According to "The Athletic," "Vinicius is frustrated, and it reached a peak due to a post on social media last week."
It turns out that on Real Madrid's official Instagram account a post was published last week that shows Vinicius kissing the club's logo, and underneath a sticker that reviews the five stages of the evolution of man from ape. The Brazilian was so enraged that he considered boycotting the game against Valencia on Saturday (he finally played and even scored a double). The post was indeed deleted after 45 minutes, and the club claimed that it was uploaded by mistake, but that didn't calm the player down either.
His anger is understandable.

"He spoke with a number of senior officials at the club and said that he is very disappointed that Real publishes such a thing," Athletic wrote.
"The club made it clear to him that they would investigate the affair internally. He has been dissatisfied for a long time with the club's conduct regarding the racist calls he receives in so many cases. He believes the team should do more to support him."
