Real star furious

Bellingham: “It’s terrible and disgusting”

Time and again, disgusting incidents of racism overshadow the Spanish league. Real Madrid players are particularly affected - especially Vinicius Junior. His team-mate Jude Bellingham has now made a clear demand to those responsible to do something about it.

Racist insults are omnipresent, especially at away games, and he himself has become accustomed to the wild abuse. Only on Saturday, teammate Aurelien Tchouameni was the victim of racist remarks in Mallorca. 

"It's terrible for a player to prepare for a game and know that he's probably going to be racially abused. It's disgusting. It shouldn't happen. The powers that be need to do more," said Bellingham, condemning the incidents and holding the league accountable. "It's definitely a call to do more. But I doubt that will happen," said the Englishman, holding out little hope for improvement.
