Atlético vs. Barcelona could be reported, and Vinicius is the ‘culprit’.

Possible Complaint Against Atlético-Barcelona Match Over Racist Chants, La Liga Could Take Action After Fans Target Vinicius Junior

The fallout from Atlético Madrid’s dramatic 2-4 defeat against Barcelona has taken a new turn, as reports suggest the match could be the subject of an official complaint due to racist chants directed at Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior.

Racist Chants Before the Match

Despite having no connection to the game, Vinicius once again became the target of racist abuse from some Atlético Madrid fans. According to OK Diario, a group of supporters gathered outside the Metropolitano Stadium before kickoff, chanting “Alé, alé, Vinicius chimpancé.”

This is not the first time Vinicius has been subjected to such attacks, and with La Liga and the Spanish football authorities vowing to crack down on racism, this incident could lead to serious consequences for Atlético Madrid.

Atlético’s Disastrous Collapse

Beyond the controversy, Atlético Madrid suffered a humiliating loss on the pitch. Leading 2-0 by the 70th minute, Diego Simeone’s side collapsed completely, conceding four goals in just 20 minutes. Goals from Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, and Lamine Yamal stunned the home crowd, forcing many Atlético fans to leave the stadium early out of frustration.

The defeat caps off a disastrous week for Atlético, who were also eliminated from the Champions League by Real Madrid. Hopes of winning La Liga now seem distant, with their title challenge fading fast.

As for the racist incidents, it remains to be seen whether La Liga will take action, but this latest controversy once again puts Spanish football under scrutiny for failing to eradicate discrimination from the sport.
