“It is not racism; he deserves a slap for being a clown. What do these unnecessary and meaningless bicycle kicks represent in the centre of the field?”

Camps does not seem to empathise with the winger; instead, his tweet suggested he was irritated by Vinicius’s antics and even suggested violence.
Barcelona VP apologises
The Real Madrid hierarchy are said to be displeased by Camps’ tweet, with the club’s president, Florentino Perez, said to have decided to boycott this weekend’s El Clasico due to the incident.
Barcelona has yet to put out a statement addressing the issue, but the club’s VP, Yuste, has now apologised to the player.

"Statements of a Barça directive about Vinícius? Even if it's a mistake, it doesn't have to be done. It's an unfortunate tweet. If you're listening to me, Víni, it won't happen again,” Yuste said, per Football Espana.
