CNN —FC Barcelona coach Xavi said that he hopes Saturday’s El Clásico can be played with “mutual admiration” after a board member at the club deleted a derogatory social media post about Real Madrid forward Vinícius Jr. Neither Real Madrid nor Vinícius have publicly commented on the tweet. Vinícius testified earlier this month in a Spanish court about a racist incident which took place in the Mestalla Stadium when Madrid played Valencia. Footage and pictures widely posted on social media show a man performing monkey gestures towards Vinícius during the match. CNN has contacted Real Madrid and Vinícius for comment.

Oct 25 (Reuters) - Vinicius Jr has returned to his best form after the winger produced a fine performance to help Real Madrid claim a 2-1 Champions League win over Sporting Braga, manager Carlo Ancelotti said on Tuesday. He got the goal, which was ruled out by the narrowest of margins, and he made two assists for Rodrygo and Bellingham," Ancelotti told reporters. "They (Bellingham and Vinicius Jr) work really well together with the ball and without it. Real Madrid, the record 14-time Champions League winners who lead in the LaLiga with 25 points after 10 matches, play arch-rivals Barcelona on Saturday. "After this game, we know exactly what we need to do — everything we can to win it," Ancelotti said.

BRAGA, Portugal, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Real Madrid's Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham scored in each half to secure a 2-1 win at Sporting Braga and keep their side three points clear atop Champions League Group C on Tuesday. Wasteful Real missed several chances to extend their lead mainly through Vinicius who was often caught offside playing on the shoulder of an extremely high Braga defensive line. But they managed to score again in the 61st when Rodrygo beat the offside trap and found Vinicius ghosting behind the defence on the left. "We had to suffer more than expected in the end but it's normal to suffer away from home, especially in the Champions League," Vinicius Jr told Movistar Plus. Real are top on nine points ahead of Napoli, who eked out a 1-0 win at bottom side Union Berlin with the Germans yet to earn a point.

The result kept Napoli in second place on six points, three behind Real Madrid who won 2-1 at Sporting Braga. "It wasn't our best game technically, but winning this kind of game is important," scorer Raspadori said. I believe we could have done better, but an away win like this in the Champions League is always good. Playing in the Champions League and scoring is fantastic," he said. Yes we lost but overall delivered a good game."
