“Proven” insults
The resolution that punishes Cheikh Kane Sarr with a two-game ban considers “proven” the “really serious” insults that the Rayo Majadahonda goalkeeper received and points out that, without them, “it could not be understood that a football player” could “act the way the Senegalese did it.

On the contrary, the letter continues, he should have informed the referee of the chants at the same moment in which he began to hear them, that is, in the 50th minute of the match, so that the referee could activate the corresponding protocol, and remind him that he should not have taken “justice into his own hands” by grabbing a spectator by the scarf at the risk, he stresses, “of aggravating the possibilities that the incidents” would lead “into others of much greater significance.”
«No one who is insulted can be punished for reacting. Before sanctioning someone they must check if they are a victim. I insist, it was not violence, it was wanting to dialogue,” Cheikh Kane Sarr asserted on Tuesday, who defended that he had no intention of attacking the spectator whom he grabbed by the scarf when he jumped the fence. «I wanted to ask him why he treated me like that, whether or not he had a family and could understand me. I had no intention of attacking him at all, at all. That’s why I grabbed him by the scarf. How was I going to hit him? “I have never attacked anyone,” he added.
