The entire Real Madrid team took to the field in Vinicius Jr shirts on Wednesday night after their teammate was racially abused by Valencia fans last weekend.
The abhorrent chants that were directed at Vinicius Jr, 22, at the Mestalla Stadium led to referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea temporarily halting Sunday's match. The chants continued, though, once play had been restarted in harrowing scenes which have been condemned across the globe in recent days.
The Spanish Football Federation confirmed on Tuesday evening that a partial stadium closure will be placed on Valencia due to the behaviour of their fans, with the club's south stand set to be shut for five matches. The LaLiga outfit were also slapped with a €45,000 (£40,000) fine.
