(Reuters) - Mallorca FC have revoked a fan's membership card for three years after the supporter hurled racist insults at Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. and Villarreal's Samu Chukwueze.
In February this year Mallorca fans were filmed calling the 22-year-old Brazil international a monkey in a video published after their 1-0 win against Real.
"The Club's Ethics Committee sanctions with the withdrawal of the membership card for three years the fan who uttered xenophobic insults to both Real Madrid CF player Vinicius Junior and Samu Chukwueze, Villarreal CF player," the LaLiga club said in a statement on Tuesday Vinicius, who has been subjected to racial abuse on at least three occasions, accused LaLiga of continuing to do nothing about racist fans at matches after videos on social media showed some supporters shouting abuse and throwing objects at him.
