Liga: the 36th day under the sign of the fight against racism

The first steps taken by La Liga. This Sunday, new racist songs would have occurred on the lawns of the Spanish championship. While Valencia offered a prestigious success against Real Madrid at Mestalla (1-0, goal from Diego Lopez in the 33rd minute), many racist chants against Vinicius would have descended from the stands on several occasions.

An end to the match that ended under tension. Caught in a general scuffle in added time, Vinicius was sent off at the very end of the match (90 7). “The racists won. That's La Liga” explained the Real Madrid striker on his social networks after the match. A new “Vinicius affair” which has upset the football planet.

Real Madrid have announced that they have filed a complaint. Dozens of players, including Kylian Mbappé, have expressed their support for the Brazilian. A video referee was even laid off. Less than 48 hours after these events, Spanish football resumed its rights.

This Tuesday, began the 36th day of the championship, with three meetings on the program, including the trip of Barça, already crowned, on the lawn of Valladolid. Before the kick-off of these three games, the 22 players as well as the referees posed "united" for a photo: "Racistas, fuera del futbol", understand "racists away from football".

Many clubs also posted a message on their social networks with the message: "Juntos contra el racismo" (together against racism). A slogan that is also found in English during the broadcast of “United again racism” matches.

"The Spanish Federation has asked LaLiga to join its 'Racists out of football' campaign, and in a climate of absolute collaboration between the two entities, it has been decided to use the message 'Together against racism' , on which LaLiga had been working since yesterday and for which it already had a multitude of media developed and produced in collaboration with the clubs”, explains the championship in a press release.
