Real Madrid president Florentino Perez met with Vinicius Jr this morning to show his support after the Valencia controversy.

Vini Jr was sent off for slapping Hugo Duro late in the game and taunted home fans with a relegation gesture amid receiving racist abuse from the support.

The player has since traded accusations with LaLiga president Javier Tebas on social media.

Real announced today: "The president of Real Madrid has met with Vinícius Junior to show him his support and affection , to inform him of all the steps that are being taken in his defense and to confirm that the club will go to the last consequences in the face of such a repugnant situation of hate."

A further club statement read: "Real Madrid CF shows its strongest revulsion and condemns the events that took place yesterday against our player Vinícius Junior.

"These facts constitute a direct attack on the coexistence model of our social and democratic State of law. Real Madrid considers that such attacks also constitute a hate crime, for which reason it has filed the corresponding complaint with the State Attorney General's Office, specifically with the Prosecutor's Office against hate crimes and discrimination, so that the facts can be investigated and clear responsibilities.

"Article 124 of the Spanish Constitution establishes the functions of the Public Prosecutor's Office to promote the action of justice in defense of legality and the rights of citizens and the public interest."
