The La Liga clash between Atlético de Madrid and Athletic Bilbao was stopped for a few moments due to the behavior of certain Colchoneros supporters towards Nico Williams.
Ultimately, the result doesn’t matter. It’s another evening of shame for La Liga with a new racist incident this Saturday during the match between Atlético de Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. This time, the target is not Vinicius Jr, but Inaki Williams.
The Basque striker, a Spanish international, was targeted by some spectators at Civitas Metropolitano in the first half, causing a short interruption. “Atlético de Madrid is opposed to all forms of racism and hatred”the club announced on its social networks, but the damage is undoubtedly done.
While Atlético led the score following Rodrigo de Paul’s goal (15th), Nico Williams had the strength to equalize for his team (45th), initially taking advantage of an unsteady back pass from Antoine Griezmann. And the Basque did not hesitate to clearly display his skin color and blood during his celebration.
However, it was Atlético who had the last word in the second half, with a goal from another world champion, Angel Correa (52nd), and a CSC from Unai Simon on a strike from Samuel Lino (80th) . The Madrilenians are doing a very good job by practically securing their place in the Champions League next season, now six points ahead of Bilbao. But the main thing was elsewhere, unfortunately.
