Real Madrid defender Dean Heisen (20) bowed to Chinese fans after sharing racist content. The controversy is even more intense because it is a bad news that broke out while teammate Vinicius Junior is struggling with racial damage.

The British media Daily Mail reported on the 24th (Korea time) that "Real Madrid defender Heisen was forced to apologize through Chinese social networking services (SNS) after sharing a racist post."

Heisen reportedly faced heavy criticism for sharing a video with racist elements on his Instagram account.

The video reportedly includes disparaging Chinese, such as "even the Chinese call him Chinese" and "You can cover his eyes with dental floss." As the controversy grew, Heisen deleted the post and posted an apology in Chinese through Real Madrid's official Weibo account.

In his apology, Heisen said, "I sincerely apologize to China. Unintentionally shared a post with insulting messages. It wasn't intentional at all. We regret the pain caused by this," he said.

Chinese fans are venting their anger. One netizen said, "While Real Madrid is speaking out against racism, Heisen is making racist remarks against the Chinese. "Why is the club not responding?" and "Does the anti-racism stance only apply when Vinicius is discriminated against?" Another user demanded, "If you don't want to lose the Chinese market, apologize immediately."

Currently, Heisen's apology has only been posted on Weibo, the largest platform in China. In response, Chinese fans are also demanding an official apology through global channels such as Real Madrid's official SNS.

The incident is drawing more attention as it recently erupted amid a racist battle between Vinicius and Gianluca Prestiani (Benfica) on the Champions League stage. Prestiani, who is suspected of speaking to Vinicius as a "monkey," reportedly claimed in a recent UEFA investigation that he used homophobic expletives, not racism. However, UEFA finally suspended Prestiani for one game.
