Overview
- La Liga confirmed it is examining footage that appears to capture sections of El Sadar chanting “Vinicius, muerete” during Osasuna vs Real Madrid.
- Reporting described heavy whistles and derogatory songs targeting the 25-year-old, including “balon de playa” and “tonto.”
- Osasuna won 2-1 with an Ante Budimir penalty and a 90th-minute Raul García winner after Vinícius scored in the 73rd minute and pointed to his name in celebration.
- El Sadar has prior history involving the player, with a 2023 abuse video case provisionally dismissed by a Pamplona court in 2024 due to the inability to identify a suspect.
- The incident came days after a Benfica match that triggered a UEFA investigation, as manager Álvaro Arbeloa urged focus ahead of the second leg this week.
