Kylian Mbappé mentioned a few days ago the racism of which he was the victim in Spain a few days ago. This Wednesday, Spanish national police announced that they had arrested an oviedo supporter accused of gestures and racist cries in a match against Real Madrid.
It was during the 2nd day on August 24. The Merengues won 3-0 in the promoted and the captain of the Blues had scored a double. An individual identified as a fan of the local club was arrested for imitating a monkey towards the French striker Kylian Mbappé when he celebrated the opening of his team at the end of the first act.
Fine between 60,000 and 650,000 euros
Thanks to videos circulating on social networks and broadcast on television, the Spanish League had denounced “cries and racist sounds”. According to police, the supporter of Oviedo could be sanctioned by three years’ imprisonment for “hatred crime”, having to pay a heavy fine of an amount oscillating between 60,000 and 650,000 euros and be prohibited from stadium.
Since his arrival at Real Madrid from PSG during the summer of 2024, Kylian Mbappé has been the victim of this scourge for the first time. His Brazilian teammate Vinicius Junior has been the target very regularly of racist behaviors since 2018. Last week, a man was also sentenced to one year in prison and three years of stadium ban for having uttered racist insults against the International Athletic Bilbao striker, Iñaki Williams.
