Carlos Akapo is replaced, he comes off the baseline and an action as unpleasant as it is reprehensible takes place: a Granada fan makes a racist gesture in which he imitates the movement of a monkey. Akapo stops before him and reproaches him for his attitude. pic.twitter.com/h7tQnrlsUK

“There have been three or four assholes, I know it’s wrong, but they don’t represent the Granada fans at all.
But above all there has been one who has insisted and called me a monkey. On the one hand it affects me and on the other we have to give visibility so that people are not in the fields. They are people who do not deserve to come to the stadium and who do not represent the Granada fans. It doesn’t enter my head that people insult and call you black. For my part, I treat him calmly, and I try to make people see the idiocies and nonsense they do. I hope they take him away from football. Many thanks also to the Granada fans who told him to stop. I will try to forget it. Soccer is values of respect, “Akapo assured the microphones of Gol television after the match.
Granada, after the player’s statements, issued a statement in which it assures that has launched “an investigation” to identify the fan who allegedly made the racist gestures and insults towards Akapo in order to take “the pertinent measures to firmly sanction these behaviors that do not represent the values of Granada CF”. LaLiga He has also announced that he will look for the fan and take him to the Prosecutor’s Office.
