During the Sevilla-Real Madrid match this Saturday, a spectator was expelled from the stadium for “racist behavior”.
A Sevilla FC supporter was identified and expelled from the Sanchez Pizjuan stadium on Saturday, for “racist and xenophobic behavior»during the La Liga match against Real Madrid (1-1), the Andalusian club announced in a press release.
The Sevillian club specifies that it immediately reported this individual to the authorities and “condemns all racist and xenophobic behavior, even if it is isolated, as in this case» and says he is ready to collaborate with justice “to eradicate these attitudes, which do not represent the supporters of a club like Sevilla“. In photos published by the Spanish press, we can see a man in white miming a monkey towards Real Madrid player Vinicius Junior, already the victim of racist acts on several occasions last season.
The Brazilian striker was also heard by the courts on October 5, as part of an investigation into racist insults that he received in Valencia on May 21, 2022.
