Mouctar Diakhaby alleged that he was called "black piece of s***" by Cadiz's Juan Cala. La Liga president Javier Tebas said that Diakhaby "must have misheard." Diakhaby was left alone by Spanish football authorities. He's not going to pose for a PR campaign on their behalf.

Worth remembering the only ever time Spanish football authorities have suspended a match for a player being abused was Rayo Vallecano vs Albacete in the second division. The match was called off as Rayo fans chanted Roman Zozulya was a neo-Nazi. Racism has never stopped a game.

Valencia defender Mouctar Diakhaby did not pose for La Liga's pre-game anti-racism message. In 2021, he and his teammates walked off the pitch. He feels he was not supported by football's authorities. That match resumed without Diakhaby. https://t.co/25TICsF20o https://t.co/Eucbv

"Spain is preparing to bid alongside Portugal and Morocco to host the 2030 World Cup. It is surely unthinkable that Spain could be chosen for the tournament unless and until it takes decisive action to drive racism out of the domestic game."

BREAK: Vinicius Junior red card vs Valencia overturned. Player will face no suspension. Ruling finds 'sustained racist chanting throughout the stadium...turned the attacked victim into an aggresor'. AND Valencia to have partial stadium closure for 5 games.

Barcelona star Raphinha removed his shirt as he was substituted off tonight to show solidarity with the racism suffered by Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior, his Brazil teammate.
The best yellow card any player will be shown this season. https://t.co/Ch8mnsTRpM

This is the scene that greeted Vinicius Jr at Valencia. 100s of fans. Widespread monkey chanting. Widespread chanting of "Vinicius you're a monkey." (shocking footage obtained by La Sexta)
These are the faces of racism.
Identify them. Ban them. Prosecute them. https://t.co/rlNV

This theme on Vinicius Junior continues throughout the paper, as detailed below.
In various pages, Vinicius is called a "brat", a "spoiled child" and carry a fans statement which consistently states Vinicius as "bad".
A new low.

"Enough now!"
The front page of Valencia's sport paper Super Deporte.
The "Enough now!" is not about racism. It is about stopping a "Madrid-led campaign."
They are calling for Vinicius Junior - the victim of racist abuse - to face punishment for his 'on-field disrespect'. http

Watch this video. Share this video. As the rest of the world looks on in disgust at racism in Spanish football, the Spanish coverage blamed the victim of racist abuse. This is what is happening in Spain. Victim-blaming.

An alternative viewpoint of last night's events from a Valencia-based journalist. Who is "utterly disgusted", not by the racism, but the reporting of the events.

This is not easy to watch. Or hear. But it is essential. Vinicius Junior. Welling up with tears after being subjected to a fresh wave of racist abuse. This has been a regular occurrence for six months in La Liga. https://t.co/Ro80mHhvCA

There has just been an absolutely brilliant piece to camera from @PhilKitro on La Liga TV. Pulled no punches. Succinct and powerful. La Liga should clip it up and circulate it on their social media channels. Hat tip also to the ever-brilliant @TerryGibson88.

Utterly disgusted about how the mainstream discourse is going to shape this into the "VCF are racists" headline.
So, for what it's worth and as I will get slammed regardless... My two cents about another night of shame for reasons that people don't expect.
