Ancelotti furious after Vinicius racial abuse: It's society's problem

The Brazilian was racially abused during the Los Blancos' 2-0 victory over Valladolid on Friday after he was substituted late on. Real Madrid boss demands action against the "society's problem".

Real Madrid

won their La Liga away game at Valladolid 2-0 thanks to a brace by Karim Benzema. However, shocking footage emerged as

Vinicius

 

was the subject of racial abuse after the final whistle, with objects also thrown at the Brazilian. Vinicius criticized La Liga after the match, saying the league "continues to do nothing".

Carlo Ancelotti

was asked whether he has spoken with Vinicius about the subject. He said:

"I don't have to [talk to Vinicius].

"It's quite clear to me. Racism shouldn't exist, and xenophobia shouldn't exist. Talking about it with Vinicius would be a mistake.

"It's society's problem, it shouldn't exist, for me it has to be zero tolerance.

"I don't think it's LaLiga's problem. It's a general, cultural problem in society. Society doesn't have the education it should have.

"With such an important issue I wouldn't focus on Vinicius or LaLiga or the punishments. It's much bigger."

He was later asked about 

Luka Modric

and

Toni Kroos

, who will be out of contract next summer. Not being bothered by the future, he added:

"Football is changing. When a player reaches the end of his contract it isn't as worrying as it was a few years ago.

"A lot of players reach the end of their contract and it's no problem, if they want to stay, they stay, and if they want to go, they go. Clubs aren't so worried about that."
