SPAIN
Atletico Madrid fans were filmed racially abusing Real Madrid's Brazilian forward Vinicius Jr. outside their Metropolitano Stadium ahead of the Madrid derby on Sunday.
Hundreds of Atletico supporters could be heard singing "Vinicius, you are a monkey, you are monkey" in a video published on social media by radio station Cope in the build up to the game that Real went on to win 2-1.
Local media also reported that monkey noises and chants of 'Vinicius, die' were heard throughout the game.
Atletico Madrid did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but said on Twitter: "Support Atleti with passion and respect for opponents."
Pedro Bravo, the head of the Spanish Football Agents Association, was criticised last week for saying Vinicius needed to stop "monkeying around" when celebrating goals, with a number of Brazilian footballers, including Neymar and Dani Alves, denouncing the comments as racist.
Bravo said that the comment was not intended to be interpreted as racist, and instead was just a common turn of phrase used in Spanish.
Vinicius and Real, however, both released statements condemning the racist abuse the player has suffered during in his career.
Vinicius and scorer Rodrygo celebrated Real's opening goal in the game by dancing in front of the Atletico fans as Real continued their perfect start to the season.
Vinicius posted a picture on Instagram with the caption "Dance where you want", while his international team mate Gabriel Jesus of Arsenal said earlier on Sunday that his dancing celebration for his goal against Brentford in the Premier League was dedicated to his friend.
Despite being second best for large periods of the first half, Carlo Ancelotti's side were ruthless in front of goal as strikes from Rodrygo and Federico Valverde put them in a commanding position.
Atletico set up a grandstand finish through substitute Mario Hermoso's header seven minutes from time following a rare mistake from Courtois, who misjudged a cross, before the defender was sent off for a second bookable offence in injury time and Real held on to take the points.
Victory means Real return to the top of the LaLiga table on 18 points from six games, two ahead of Barcelona in second. Atletico are seventh, eight points behind their neighbours.
"You're always very happy after winning the derby," Ancelotti said. "We managed to double our lead and then defend really well. Our game plan was to be solid at the back and to play direct with the ball between the lines.
"That's how we scored and we knew once we'd got 2-0 up that defending would be enough to get us over the line."
Both sides were eventually down to 10 men in Getafe's 2-0 win at Osasuna.
The hosts found themselves a man down late in the first half after Chimy Avila was sent off following a VAR check of his collision with Juan Iglesias, who had opened the scoring on 30 minutes.
Gaston Alvarez added the Azulones’ second at the 76-minute mark before they too were down to 10 men when Luis Milla was shown red in added time.
Elsewhere, Real Betis and Real Sociedad both secured three points at home with 2-1 wins over Girona and Espanyol respectively, while Sevilla played out a 1-1 draw with Villarreal.

All three goals came in the second half of the cagey contest with Matteo Politano converting a penalty to hand the visitors the lead on 55 minutes.
Olivier Giroud responded for Milan 14 minutes later before Giovanni Simeone nodded in the game-winner and handed the defending champions their first defeat of the season.
Atalanta kept pace with the league leaders after Giorgio Scalvini’s first-half strike was enough to hand them a 1-0 victory over Roma.
But the game was mostly marked by pitch-side drama, which saw Roma boss Jose Mourinho sent off after arguing with the referee over what he believed to be a second-half penalty.
Udinese remained in third place with a 3-1 win over Inter, who opened the scoring through Nicolo Barella on five minutes but saw it cancelled out with a Milan Skriniar own goal before Jaka Bijol and Tolgay Arslan put the game away.
