BarcelonaDespite the fact that Real Madrid has in one of its stars Vinícius Júnior, a footballer who has suffered episodes of racism, some individuals in the white stand uttered racist insults at Lamine Yamal and Alejandro Balde. It happened after the 0-3 scored by the young Blaugrana winger and which practically meant Barça’s harsh sentence at the Santiago Bernabéu. Also after the 0-4 that Raphinha scored and that closed the scoring.
Less than 12 hours later the white club has reacted to the evidence – the videos of the insults have spread like wildfire on the networks – and issued a statement condemning the racist insults that took place in its stadium and announcing that it has opened a investigation to identify the perpetrators of the insults and “take appropriate measures”.
Real Madrid has reacted quickly to the proliferation of videos on social networks that show that part of the Madrid fans reacted badly to the defeat suffered by their team at the hands of Barça. The Real Madrid association says in its statement that the insults came “from a few fans located in one of the corners of the stadium”. Among the insults you can hear: “moro fucker; black fucker; sons of bitches, are you going to sell handkerchiefs at a traffic light or are you some kind of [l’acrònim en referència a menors estrangers no acompanyats] shit.”
The League, quite quick and resounding in condemning acts of this nature, especially when the target has been Vinícius, has not yet spoken out. Once Real Madrid has admitted the facts, the organization chaired by Javier Tebas should not be slow to pronounce.
