After its defeat against Real Madrid (0-1) on April 13, the Mallorca club condemned this Sunday, April 14, the racist gesture of one of its supporters, who imitated a monkey during the celebration of French midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, author of the only goal of the match. “During the match played yesterday between RDC Mallorca and Real Madrid, images showed a person making racist gestures. The club has activated the protocol against violence in football and is working with the national police to identify this person,” the club wrote in a statement. The scene was captured by the cameras of Spanish broadcaster Movistar+ in the stands of the Son Moix stadium when Aurélien Tchouaméni celebrated his goal, scored with a slightly deflected long shot. “RCD Mallorca does not and will not tolerate any manifestation of racism and actively participates in all campaigns to eradicate this scourge,” the club added. As elsewhere in Europe, several racist incidents in the stands have left their mark in Spain in recent months. Real’s Brazilian striker, Vinícius Júnior, is regularly the target. A friendly match between Spain and Brazil was organized at the end of March to symbolically combat these acts.
