Getafe defender Marc Cucurella denied allegations he racially abused Real Madrid's Eder Militao during their La Liga match on Saturday.
The two were involved in a heated exchange during the second half of Madrid's 3-0 victory at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
It was alleged on social media that Cucurella, who joined Getafe on a season-long loan from Barcelona last July, addressed Militao with the word 'mico', which means monkey in Catalan.
