Real Madrid footballer Vinicius once again was the target of racist chants by some fans at the Mallorca stadium. 'Gol' picked up the numerous racist comments the Brazilian received. There was also racism in Real Betis' 1-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao.

Real Madrid won the game against Mallorca in a match which several racist comments were heard. In the stands at Son Moix, racist comments were made against Vinicius Junior. 

'Gol' spotted perfectly what happened to Vinicius and he had to listen to it in different parts of the stadium so La Liga will investigate what will happen."Vinicius, go and pick bananas," as can be seen in the media outlet so some fans also imitated the sound of a monkey. 

On Sunday, a Real Betis fan was spotted making monkey gestures against Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao. All of this comes after Cadiz's Carlos Akapo was racially abused by a supporter away to Granada on 28th February. 

Elsewhere, Real Madrid complained about the excessive force of the Mallorca players against Vinicius and Rodrygo. 

"They deserve a reflection" on the "dangerous tackles," an angry Butragueno said after the game which Real Madrid won 0-3.
