Throughout the match at El Sadar Stadium, sections of the Osasuna crowd were heard singing derogatory chants including 'Vinicius, balon de playa' and 'tonto,' with La Liga confirming it is actively investigating video footage showing apparent 'Vinicius, muerete' (die) chants. This stadium has a troubling history regarding the Real Madrid number seven, with a 2023 racial abuse case controversially dismissed last year.
On the pitch, Vinicius momentarily silenced the crowd with a 73rd-minute goal, celebrating by pointing to his name and gesturing 'I'm here' to the turf. However, Raul García's 90th-minute winner sealed Osasuna's victory, leaving Real Madrid vulnerable at the top of the table as they prepare for a crucial Champions League playoff against Benfica.
