Four men were arrested in Madrid, police said, three of whom were members of “a radical group of fans of a Madrid club,” who were previously flagged during matches as “high risk” to help curb violence during games. Three men were also arrested in Valencia for racist conduct aimed at Vinicius in a match between Valencia and Real Madrid, police said on Twitter.
