Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr says he and his team-mates will leave the pitch if they face any more racism this season.
The Brazil forward broke down in a press conference earlier this year when talking about the abuse he has encountered, saying he felt "less and less" like playing football.
And now Vinicius Jr says Real will walk off if they need to this season.
He told CNN: "We do need to leave the field so things can change as soon as possible."
Three Valencia fans were recently sentenced to eight months in prison for abusing the frontman at a match on 21 May 2023.
The supporters were found guilty of a "crime against moral integrity" with "aggravating circumstance of discrimination based on racist motives."
Vinicius Jr said the only way to drive racism out of football altogether may be by stopping matches.
"In the club, we talk about it more often," said the 24-year-old.
"Not just me, but all [the] players said that if that happens, the next time everyone has to leave the field. So all of those people who insulted us have to pay a much bigger penalty.
"Today I already see and feel the difference in Spain. Maybe [some fans] are still racists but nowadays they are afraid to express themselves on the football field, and in places where there are a lot of cameras.
"And with that, we will reduce racism, little by little. Of course, we won't be able to end it, but I'm already happy that I'm being able to change Spain's mindset."
