A Sevilla supporter was ejected from their LaLiga match with Real Madrid after allegedly directing racist abuse towards Vinicius Jr during the 1-1 draw.
The Brazil international played 88 minutes of the fixture at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan where Madrid captain Dani Carvajal's header 12 minutes from time cancelled out David Alaba's own goal. Vinicius Jr later posted on social media about being on the receiving end of racism during the match on Saturday night and praised Sevilla for taking swift action.
' A statement from Sevilla read: 'Sevilla FC would like to communicate that, after detecting xenophobic and racist behaviour, a member of the public was identified, ejected from the stadium and handed over to legal authorities. 'The individual will also be subject to the club's vigorous internal disciplinary protocols and have their membership revoked.
