Real Valladolid have released a statement after Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Junior accused their fans of racist abuse.

On Saturday, 24 hours after the game was played, Real Valladolid issued a statement in response to the one earlier published by LaLiga. In it, the club said that the abuse which came from the stands as Vinícius was substituted were “isolated incidents" and added four further points which included the total condemnation of “any form of racism" and an apology for the remarks, which were all captured from the same stand and shared on social media.

“The club is, of course, willing to collaborate with LaLiga to carry out the necessary investigations, and reserves the right to take disciplinary measures in the event that there are season ticket holders involved in the incidents," the statement explains.

“There is no room for racism in football or in society, and Real Valladolid is determined to implement more and more measures to raise awareness, prevent and combat any similar occurrences", stated the club, which emphasised the “isolated" nature of what happened and that the events “do not represent the vast majority of Blanquivioleta fans, who are always respectful and create a wonderful atmosphere at Estadio José Zorrilla".
