JAKARTA - A supporter has been arrested for allegedly making racist gestures and voices aimed at Kylian Mbappe in Real Madrid's match against Real Oviedo last month. The arrest was confirmed by the Spanish National Police.

Real Madrid won the match at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere with a score of 3-0 on August 24, 2025, with Mbappe scoring two goals.

On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, local time, police said that someone had been identified to make sounds and gestures like monkeys, after analyzing TV footage of the audience's reaction to Mbappe's opener in the 37th minute.

La Liga reported the incident after the match. The supporter has now been detained and interrogated. The case has also been transferred to the racial crime prosecutor.

This violation can be subject to a sentence of up to three years in prison and a fine of between 60,000 to 650,000 euros and a ban on entry to the stadium.

La Liga has taken a more proactive stance in tackling racist incidents inside stadiums in recent seasons, particularly after abuse directed at Vinicius Junior at the Stadio Mestalla, Valencia, in 2023, resulting in three supporters being sentenced to prison.

Earlier this month, an Espanyol supporter was convicted of racial crimes for racial abuse against Inaki Williams of the Athletic Club in January 2020, in the first case the league reported to authorities.
