A LaLiga football fan has been given a combined one-year prison sentence after being found to have racially abused Real Madrid star Vinicius Jnr and another LaLiga star on two separate incidents.
An offender that abused Brazilian winger Vinicius Jnr - who is amongst the favourites to win the upcoming Ballon d'Or title - during Real Madrid's clash against Mallorca on February 5, 2023 has now been sentenced by a court in Spain.
It was also determined that the same individual directed hateful abuse at former Villarreal player Samu Chukwueze during Mallorca's home LaLiga win on February 18.
The court has handed down six-month prison sentences for each incident and also took the decision to implement a three-year stadium ban on the supporter.

Meanwhile, Vinicius Jnr continues to condemn the racial hatred he has suffered throughout his time playing in Spain where he has still managed to become one of the world's best players.
The 24-year-old was a crucial figure in Madrid's Champions League and LaLiga title success last season and is continuing to look strong in a superstar squad that was boosted by the summer arrival of Kylian Mbappe.
However, the Brazilian recently hammered down on racism in Spain's footballing community and insisted that the nation shouldn't be allowed to host the 2030 World Cup unless action is taken against discrimination.
His suggestion was immediately brushed aside by LaLiga president Javier Tebas who labelled the comment as 'incoherent'.
He said: 'I think that, if you look, you will see that his statements were not entirely consistent with what he himself says in the interview.
'At the same time that he was saying that perhaps the World Cup should be re-considered, he was also saying that Spain is not a racist country.
'Let's remove what is incoherent and keep what is coherent: that Spain is not a racist country, and on that I agree with Vinicius.'
