The incident allegedly took place during Madrid&#8217;s Champions League\u00a02-1 win over Braga on Tuesday night, with a tweet from Mikel Camps, who is employed as an executive board spokesperson, claiming the Brazilian winger &#8216;deserved a slap&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>In an extraordinary social media rant, which was swiftly deleted from his profile, Camps claimed that Vinicius had not been a victim of racist abuse and said the 23-year-old &#8216;deserved a slap&#8217; for being a &#8216;clown&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>He wrote the tweet in Catalan, which translated in English to: &#8220;It&#8217;s not racism, he deserves a slap for being a clown. These stepovers are unnecessary and meaningless on a football pitch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It comes after Sevilla announced they had removed a supporter from their ground during their 1-1 draw with Madrid on Saturday after they targeted Vinicius. But this incident could have bigger repercussions due to the bitter rivalry between Spain&#8217;s two biggest clubs.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Barcelona star &#8216;annoyed&#8217; by Jude Bellingham with Englishman the talk of Spain[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/5031055.jpg?r=1698220952209\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Mikel-Camps-Vinicius-Jr-5031098.jpg?r=1698220952398\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &#038; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Camp&#8217;s comments caused outrage amongst football fans on social media, as\u00a0Vinicius has been the target of several instances of racism from opposition fans since his rise to stardom in Spain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In one case, Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez was one of those to send a message of support to the attacker last season in May after he was abused again in a game against Valencia.<\/p>\n<p>When quizzed about the incident after the game, Rodrygo hit out at the alleged comments made by Camps, describing them as &#8220;embarrassing&#8221;.
