Parabéns ao Sevilla pelo rápido posicionamento e pela punição em mais um triste episódio para o futebol espanhol.Infelizmente, tive acesso a um vídeo com outro ato racista na partida deste sábado, dessa vez praticado por uma criança. Lamento muito que não haja ninguém para… pic.twitter.com/azlZ7ccPNZ

“It’s not racism, (Vinicius) deserves a slap for being a clown,” wrote Barcelona administrators’ board spokesman Mikel Camps on X, previously Twitter, throughout Madrid’s win over Braga on Tuesday.
“What do these unnecessary and meaningless stepovers represent in the centre of the pitch?”
Camps later deleted his publish however Spanish media say Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is not going to attend the Clasico on Saturday in Barcelona in protest.
Xavi, talking after his crew’s 2-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday, stated the remark added to the stress across the recreation, which he didn’t approve of.
“I don’t have to say it, it’s been deleted, that says enough, that’s that,” stated Xavi.
