Last Sunday, Real Madrid suffered a serious blow in LaLiga EA Sports. The merengue team, full of stars and with practically all the starters on the field, visited Vallecas with the intention of adding three relatively easy points against Rayo Vallecano. However, things did not go well for Carletto’s pupils.

The merengue team quickly took the lead thanks to a goal from Joselu, who temporarily put the score at 0-1 in the 3rd minute. In that same first half, Raúl de Tomás, a former Real Madrid player, converted a penalty to tie the score, marking what would be the final 1-1.

This tie, beyond being disappointing, does not seem to upset a Real Madrid team that remains leader in LaLiga, but in this match an extra negative football factor that is already beginning to be a constant in Spanish football once again stood out: racism.

A few days after the match was played, the Movistar+ team , in their program The Day After , revealed a racist attack that went unnoticed at the time, but that today goes around the world.

At a time when Vinicius Jr. approached a section of the stands at the Rayo Vallecano stadium, it was possible to see how a fan, whose face was censored in the images shown by Movistar, made an ugly “monkey” gesture at him. to the Brazilian attacker, all while saying things to him and continuing to make these insulting gestures.

What was the reason why the aggressor’s face was censored? Simple. The perpetrator of said racist gestures was nothing more and nothing less than a minor.
