It’s a rather improbable story that has taken place in England in recent hours. After Manchester United’s victory in the Champions League, André Onana’s performance was praised by his teammates on social networks. The Cameroonian goalkeeper, in fact, saved a penalty in the last seconds of the match. On his X account (formerly Twitter), young Alejandro Garnacho shared a photo of his teammate with two gorilla emojis as a caption. Enough to provoke a shower of accusations of racism and the deletion of the publication.
And if the FA has already taken up the matter and could sanction the young Argentinian, André Onana wanted to provide his support to his teammate in the process. “People can’t choose what I should be offended by. Garnacho put this emoji to define power and strength. It shouldn’t go any further. » Enough to prevent the English federation from sanctioning Garnacho? The future will tell.
