LaLiga to report disrespectful gesture by Vinicius
The RFEF Disciplinary Committee has now received the incident for review, and Vinicius could face a ban if found guilty of misconduct.
“I’ll have to see the final report,” LaLiga president Javier Tebas told reporters on Monday.
“I saw the game. It’s important to stress that there was no racist chanting … I think there was provocation, with those insults, and the player, like any other, got annoyed, that’s all.”
Rayo president Raúl MartÃn Presa called out Vinicius for “unacceptable” conduct.
“You’re telling a fan, a Rayo fan, ‘go to the second division’ when for us, being in the first division is survival,” MartÃn Presa said. “Footballers should be professional.”
