Three Valencia fans have been handed eight-month prison sentences after pleading guilty to racially insulting Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior in the first racism-related convictions in Spanish professional football.

The fans, whose names were not released, will not be allowed to enter football stadiums for two years and will have to pay for all the court proceedings.
