Spain's National Police did not name the four men and there was no immediate statement.
Four people have been arrested and questioned in Spain on suspicion of conducting an online hate campaign encouraging fans to racially abuse Real Madrid star forward Vinicius Jr, police said on Thursday.
Vinicius Jr, who has faced abuse at a number of matches, last year called LaLiga and Spain racist after receiving slurs from the stands during a match at Valencia’s Mestalla stadium. There were no major incidents of racial abuse reported at that match but the derby against Real Madrid was suspended for several minutes due to items being thrown onto the pitch.
