A Mallorca fan who racially abused Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior and former Villarreal player Samuel Chukwueze has been committed to a one-year prison sentence. Additionally, he was equally slammed a three-year stadium ban on Thursday.
According to a statement released by Real Madrid, the supporter was “found guilty of two crimes against moral integrity, aggravated by the fact that he acted with racist motives”.

The abuse of Vinicius occurred during Madrid’s 1-0 La Liga defeat to Mallorca at their Son Moix stadium in February 2023, before the fan insulted the now AC Milan star, Chukwueze, a fortnight later.
Madrid said the fan’s prison sentence was suspended “after the defendant apologised and showed his remorse, with a letter addressed to Vinicius, having completed an equality and anti-discrimination program.”
