<p>The offender was handed a six-month sentence for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/la-liga-file-eighth-vinicius-junior-racism-complaint-barcelona-court-abuse-of-real-madrid-star-clasico-clash/blt57b1b2596709bee8" target="_blank">abusing Vinicius at a match</a> between Mallorca and Real Madrid on February 5, 2023, and an additional six-month sentence for racially abusing Chukwueze at the same stadium on February 18 that year, in a match between Mallorca and Villareal. On top of that prison time, he has received a three-year Spanish football stadium ban.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Racial abuse against players is an issue that has plagued La Liga for a shocking amount of time. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/vinicius-junior-la-liga-spanish-football-facilitating-racism/bltf7197711ead997d9" target="_blank">Vinicius has condemned the Spanish top flight for facilitating abuse</a> rather than attempting to properly stamp it out, and the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/vinicius-breaking-point-spain-racism-real-madrid-kylian-mbappe/blt3212c9bda085926b" target="_blank">Real Madrid star recently opened up about feeling 'targeted'</a> by racist fans across the country.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>An out-of-court settlement was also recently reached for another incident of racial abuse, with fellow Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni receiving compensation and an official apology from a minor who attacked him at Mallorca's home ground on 13 April.</p><p></p><div></div><p></p><br>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Brazil star continues to be a revelation on the pitch, but he's clearly growing hugely frustrated about the way opposition supporters off the pitch have been treating him.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/vinicius-junior-told-not-unpopular-spain-because-of-race-2030-world-cup-real-madrid-star-maturity-ignorant-rant-la-liga-legend/blt93047e97841fb8a1" target="_blank"> Vinicius recently stated</a> that if Spain's problem with racism persists, the 2030 World Cup should be moved somewhere else.</p>
