Given the rapidly worsening circumstances, they may opt to strengthen their anti-discrimination position in the days to come following internal discussions. On Tuesday, there was a perception that the situation is a football-related internal concern in Spain.
The UEFA has a robust anti-racism policy and several efforts in place to combat the abuse of discriminatory behaviours in sport. However, the organisation is frequently circumspect when commenting on similar events that take place in certain European leagues.

Although Vinicius Jr. said he was open to quitting Real Madrid following two years of racial abuse, his manager Carlo Ancelotti is certain the South American will stay at the club. Vinicius declared that even if he had to go a great distance to carry on his battle against racism, he would not give up.
Given that Ancelotti informed the media that Vinicius had a little knee issue, he did not exercise on Tuesday. He did not need to take a chance on being hurt when his one- or two-game ban for getting sent off against Valencia on Sunday was about to begin.
