The situation
The rojiblanco club opened an investigation after the events prior to the derby, with the racist insults to Vinicius, and has already taken action on the matter. Atlético already warned in its statement after the derby: “ At Atlético de Madrid we have zero tolerance for racism, our commitment to the fight against this social scourge is total and we will not stop until we manage to eliminate it. For this we have contacted the authorities to offer them our maximum collaboration in the investigation of the events that occurred outside the stadium and demand the identification of the people who participated in order to proceed with the immediate expulsion of those who are members of the club.”. An internal investigation that has already led to the suspension of three rojiblancos partners And work continues on the case to increase that figure.
The details
It must be remembered that before the start of the match against Real Madrid last Sunday, a group of mattress fans directed racist insults at Vinicius (“you are a monkey”) in the vicinity of the Cívitas Metropolitano. Something also collected by the LaLiga report, which has added up to 24 acts that they consider to incite violence from the time before the match until its conclusion. The vast majority by Atlético, but also from the visiting stands located in the mattress fiefdom. Miguel Ángel Gil, through an official publication and Enrique Cerezo at the Sponsor a Player Awards gala, have repudiated the events and have in any case disassociated Atlético with said racist acts and expletives. The club is working to recognize the possible members involved in the event, although at the moment there is no more police information on the events, which took place outside the stadium’s stands. Only thing we have to do at this point is to wait and see what is going to happen
