MADRID — The Spanish league has filed criminal complaints against Valladolid fans who aimed racist insults against Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior. The league says it presented audiovisual evidence of the insults in its complaint to local courts. The league also asked the Spanish soccer federation to look into the incident and consider a possible punishment for Valladolid. Vinícius took to social media to complain about the insults he was subjected to during Madrid's 2-0 win at Valladolid on Friday. He said "racists continue going to stadiums" and "the league isn't doing anything" about it.
