Silveira filed a complaint following the incident on Sunday. Mossos d’Esquadra, the regional police of Catalonia, are investigating, according to a report in The Athletic.
Vinicius Jr has been subjected to racist abuse on several occasions this season, with La Liga filing ten complaints in total.
The decision to play the friendly in Spain was criticised in Brazil following the racist abuse suffered by Vinicius Jr at Valencia’s Mestalla Stadium in May. But the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) managed to pacify the sea of criticism by using the fixture as an opportunity to take a public stand against racism by wearing an all-black kit for the first time.
After Brazil’s 4-1 victory, Vinicius Jr said in a Twitter post: “While I was playing with the already historic black shirt and getting emotional, my friend was humiliated and mocked at the entrance to the stadium.
“The treatment was sad, at all times they doubted the surreal scene that happened. Backstage is disgusting. But to make everything public, I ask those responsible: where are the security camera footage?”
