Here’s an image that spoils the party… During the meeting between Spain and France, as part of the Eleven All Stars, which takes place this Saturday, October 12, the meeting was interrupted at the 56e minute of play because of the racist gestures of a Spanish supporter present in the stands.
It was the French player and streamer Brawks who alerted the referee, complaining about mimicked monkey gestures in the stands from Spanish supporters targeting him. “It’s crazy to call me a monkey!” No to racism! “, immediately published Brawks on X.
The meeting will be stopped in the event of a new incident.
The match referee then made the decision to temporarily stop the match. The Spanish player Koko, also black, rushed to his supporters to show his anger and disappointment after such gestures. The Spanish player even left the pitch with tears in his eyes in the arms of the referee and French coach Saïd.
Security at the Civitas Metropolitano, home of Atlético Madrid, immediately reacted and removed the supporter guilty of these racist insults from the stadium. Several minutes later, the match announcer announced that the match could resume to boos from the stands.
