the Colchoneros react to racist insults for Vinicius

Atlético Madrid reacts. On the event of the reception of Actual Madrid on the Wanda Metropolitano final Sunday, some “supporters” of the Colchoneros had been responsible of racist songs towards Vinicius, calling him a “monkey”. This adopted a media frenzy through the week over the Brazilian winger’s celebrations. In a press release posted on social networks, Atlético Madrid strongly condemned these actions.

“Atlético de Madrid unequivocally condemns the inadmissible chants {that a} minority of supporters held exterior the stadium earlier than the derby was held. Racism is among the biggest scourges of our society and sadly the world of soccer and golf equipment will not be exempt from it. Our membership has at all times been characterised by being an open and inclusive house for followers of various nationalities, cultures, races and social lessons and few can’t tarnish the picture of 1000’s and 1000’s of athletes who assist their workforce with ardour and respect for the rival. »
