LaLiga requests greater powers to punish racism following Vinicius Jr incidents<\/h3>\n

Barcelona have been caught up in a racism storm after it emerged one of their employees allegedly unleashed a rant about Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior on social media. The incident allegedly took place during Madrid’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 ‘deserved a slap’.<\/p>\n

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 ‘deserved a slap’ for being a ‘clown’.<\/p>\n

He wrote the tweet in Catalan, which translated in English to: “It’s not racism, he deserves a slap for being a clown. These stepovers are unnecessary and meaningless on a football pitch.”<\/p>\n

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’s two biggest clubs.<\/p>\n
