Barcelona boss Xavi says he does not agree with Pep Guardiola’s pessimism over Spanish football’s ability to combat racism, following the racial abuse recently suffered by Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior.
Swathes of prominent figures in the game have come out to fiercely condemn the chants that were directed at the Brazilian by some Valencia fans last Sunday.
La Liga President Javier Tebas has been heavily criticised for the manner in which he responded to Vinicius’ post-game statement that the league “belongs to racists”.
