Atletico Madrid denounce racist chants against Vinicius

MADRID: Atletico Madrid on Tuesday condemned the racist chants made by some of their fans against Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior and pledged to work with authorities to identify those responsible.

A group of Atletico fans outside the Metropolitano stadium chanted “Vinicius, you are a monkey” before Madrid’s 2-1 win in the city derby on Sunday. Atletico could face the closure of the Metropolitano for a few games depending on the outcome of an investigation.
