Real Madrid ask Spanish prosecutors to investigate latest racist chants targeting Vinícius

Madrid said Friday that it asked prosecutors to request footage from security cameras outside the two stadiums “in order to identify the perpetrators of the abuse.”

On Thursday, Vinícius retweeted a video that showed Atletico fans jumping and chanting “Vinícius chimpanzee” before the team played Inter Milan on Wednesday. The video was initially published by the site Agente Libre Digital.

There were also reports of hate chants against Vinícius before the Barcelona-Napoli match on Tuesday. Spanish radio Cadena SER published a video in which Barcelona fans chanted “Die, Vinícius,” before the team’s 3-1 win.
