Once the act of vandalism by the ultra group “Frente Atlético” became known, Real Madrid and Atlético came out to denounce the situation.
“We would like to thank the support and expressions of affection received after the unfortunate and disgusting act of racism, xenophobia and hatred against our player Vinicius . We express our strongest condemnation of events which violate the fundamental rights and dignity of people, and which have nothing to do with the values that football and sport represent,” the meringues wrote.
In turn, Atleti said that “facts like this are absolutely disgusting and unacceptable and embarrass society . Our condemnation of any act that undermines the dignity of persons or institutions is resounding and unequivocal. No individual, whatever his intentions or colors, can taint the coexistence between different hobbies. It is everyone’s responsibility to avoid it,” they said.
Finally, the Spanish League launched that “We strongly condemn acts of hatred and intimidation against Vinicius Jr. Intolerance and violence have no place in our sport ”.
