Real Valladolid react to accusation of racism against the club by Vinicius and Alaba

Real Valladolid CF management has reacted to accusation of racism by two Real Madrid players.

On December 31st, 2022, Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr published a Tweet to hold La Liga accountable, where he stated explicitly that La Liga is “doing nothing” about the racism that is displayed by football fans.

The Tweet followed Real Madrid’s win in Valladolid a day prior, where the Brazilian was once again subject to racist abuse from some fans in the stands.

In line with the statement issued Sunday afternoon by LaLiga due to the isolated incidents that occurred in Zorrilla within the framework of Real Valladolid – Real Madrid when Vinicius Jr. was replaced, the blanquivioleta entity wants to emphasize the following aspects:

Real Valladolid absolutely condemns any form of racism and is very sorry for what happened.

The Club is, of course, willing to collaborate with LaLiga to carry out the pertinent investigations, and reserves the right to take disciplinary measures in the event that there are subscribers involved in the incidents.

There is no space for racism in football and society, which is why Real Valladolid is determined to implement more and more measures to raise awareness, avoid and combat any similar episode.

These isolated incidents do not represent the vast majority of blanquivioletas fans, always respectful, and participated in a beautiful show in the stands of Zorrilla.

Vinicius Junior published a post on his Social Media the day after suffering racist abuse once again in a La Liga stadium.

“Racist people keep going to stadiums to watch the world’s best team play and La Liga keeps doing nothing. I will hold my head high and keep celebrating my wins with Real Madrid. In the end, the blame is on me,” he tweeted.

Vinicius suffered racist abuse during the game, especially after being taken off the game late in the second half. The same thing happened when Real Madrid visited Atletico de Madrid earlier this season, with La Liga failing to punish those responsible.

Vinicius’ teammate Nigeria born David Alaba supported the winger on his Twitter account.

“Enough is enough. More needs to be done. We will keep being proud of our heritage, and keep being yourself Irmão ❤️,” he wrote.

As both Vinicius and Alaba said, La Liga needs to do something and hold themselves accountable for what’s happening every single week.
