Factbox-Racism in Spain and La Liga - was Vinicius Jr's case unusual?

Racism has been a long-running problem in Italian football, where authorities have also been criticised for not taking sufficient action.

France national team players, including star forward Kylian Mbappe, were racially abused online after they lost the World Cup final to Argentina, and England's Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka were similarly abused after missing penalties in the Euro 2020 final.APRIL 2000 Malaga's Dario Silva faced battery charges after punching an Oviedo fan who had allegedly hurled anti-Black slurs at him when the Uruguayan striker declined to sign autographs.During a Spain-England friendly at the Bernabeu stadium in Madrid, England's Andy Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Jermaine Jenas, Jermain Defoe and Shaun Wright-Phillips were subjected to racist chants imitating monkey noises by Spanish fans. FIFA imposed a fine of 100,000 Swiss francs on the Spanish football federation RFEF.
