The Estadio da Luz witnessed a shameful incident during the Champions League clash between Benfica and Real Madrid.
Real Madrid’s star player did not shy away from addressing the issue and took to social media to deliver a powerful message.
“Racists are, above all, cowards. They hide behind their shirts to mask their weakness. Unfortunately, they find protection from those who are supposed to enforce the rules. This behavior is nothing new for me or my family. I received a yellow card for celebrating a goal, and I still can’t fathom why. It seems that all that was offered on the other side was a poorly implemented protocol that accomplished nothing. I dislike being in situations like this, especially after a significant win when the focus should be on Real Madrid, but it’s crucial to address it.”
Once again, the sport has been marred by racist actions that have no place in our society.
