Real Madrid's forward Vinicius Jr has accused La Liga of not taking action against racist fans in the league.
The Brazilian forward suffered racial attack after a video on social media showed fans throwing objects at him away at Real Valladolid on Friday, December 30.
Through a statement issued by La Liga, it was noted that investigations were already underway to unearth what happened.

"Racists continue to go to stadiums and watch the biggest club in the world up close and La Liga continues to do nothing.
"I will continue with my head held high and celebrating my victories and those of Madrid," Vinicious’ tweet read.
In September 2022, Vinicius faced a similar experience after Atletico Madrid fans were filmed directing racist chants at him outside their Wanda Metropolitano Stadium ahead of a match against Real.
According to the league’s statement, the events of the La Liga match were under scrutiny.
In its statement, the league highlighted how it had addressed incidents of racial abuse towards players in the past.
La Liga president Javier Tebas took to his social media to criticize Vinicius over his statement.
"In La Liga, we've been fighting against racism for years. Vinicius Junior, it is unfortunate, unfair and not true to publish that La Liga doesn't do anything against racism. Inform yourself better.
"We are at your disposal so that altogether, we can go in the same direction," Tebas' statement read.
