A Barcelona board member has slammed Real Madrid ace Vinicius Jr ahead of the El Clasico this weekend.

The deputy spokesman for the Barcelona board of directors, and member number 33,796 of the club, Mikel Camps, has launched into Vinicius Jr on social media.

Camps took issue with the Brazil international during last night's Champions League win at Braga. Vinicius Jr made a failed attempt at a tackle during the win and also two fancy moves in the middle of the pitch.

Camps posted: "It's not racism, he deserves a slap for being a clown and trying it on.

"What do these unnecessary and meaningless bicycles represent in the centre of the field?"

Camps quickly deleted the post, but not before it had been captured three days out from the El Clasico.
