Pep Guardiola is not hopeful the racism situation in Spain will improve after Vinícius Júnior was subjected to abuse during Real Madrid’s match at Valencia.

Vinícius threatened to leave the pitch after being targeted with monkey chants. Valencia were given a partial stadium ban for five matches, fined €45,000 (£39,000) and three people have been arrested in connection with the incident. Another four were detained in relation to an effigy of the forward being hung from a bridge in the Spanish capital this year.
