A fan who racially abused Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr and Villarreal player Samuel Chukwueze in two games at Mallorca last year has been found guilty and handed a suspended prison sentence, Real Madrid said on Thursday.

The aggressor, who was not named in the La Liga clubs statement, had his 12-month sentence suspended after apologising in a letter to Vinicius and doing anti-discrimination training.

He was also banned from stadiums for three years.

This is the third criminal conviction handed down in recent months for racist insults received by Real Madrid players, Real the team said.

Real Madrid will keep working to protect the clubs values and eradicate any racist behaviour in the world of football and sport.
