The match between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid took place on September 29, but the fallout from the event continues to reverberate.
According to Marca, police have arrested four Atlético fans for inciting hatred against Vinícius on social media. Such hateful actions online are punishable by law, and in this instance, La Liga has filed a complaint against the fans. They conducted their campaign using the hashtag #metropolitanwithmasks.
Furthermore, these arrests may not be the end of the matter, as the police are continuing their investigation into the case of inciting hatred.
This behavior from Atlético Madrid fans is creating issues for the “Colchoneros” not only within Spain but also internationally, leading to potential complications with UEFA.
