It is worth mentioning that the Spanish police announced on Tuesday that they
have arrested 3 people in the city of Valencia in connection with racist
chants against the Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid during a
local league match at the Mestalla Stadium of Valencia on the past
Sunday.
This comes at a time when the Spanish police also announced that they have
detained 4 other people in connection with an incident in January, where a
doll representing the Brazilian striker was hung under a bridge in front of
the Real Madrid training center, alongside a banner that read "Madrid hates
Real."
Valenciafans frequently chanted against Vinicius and described him as a monkey
before he got into a fight with opposition players and was sent off with a
straight red card after hitting a Valencia player in the 98th minute."
