The Brazilian superstar was subjected to derogatory chants throughout the match, including "Vinicius, balon de playa" mocking his Ballon d'Or finish, and disturbing footage appears to show fans chanting "Vinicius, muerete" (die). Vinicius momentarily silenced the crowd with a 73rd-minute goal, celebrating by pointing to his name and gesturing "I'm here" to the turf.
Osasuna secured victory with Raul García's 90th-minute winner, leaving Real Madrid vulnerable at the top. Manager Alvaro Arbeloa immediately shifted focus to Wednesday's Champions League playoff against Benfica, stating: "There's no room for doubts." This stadium has a troubling history regarding Vinicius, with a previous racial abuse case controversially dismissed in 2024.
