On 21 May, Real Madrid's Brazilian striker Vinícius Júnior was the target of racist attacks by Valencia fans during a LaLiga match.
Users of Twitter and Instagram have taken to the pages of LaLiga sponsors Puma, Santander, Microsoft, EA Sports, Sorare and Panini to demand that these companies take some action regarding the racist attacks against the player, which are recurrent, even calling for a boycott of the league.
