Once again, human stupidity has entered the stands of a La Liga stadium. While Atlético de Madrid host Bilbao this Saturday as part of the 33rd day of La Liga, racist chants were heard in the aisles of the Wanda Metropolitano. To which Nico Williams responded strongly and beautifully.

Scorer just before the break, the Spanish international allowed the Basques to reset the scorers (Atlético now leads 2-1). And obviously, he didn’t fail to respond to the idiots who had intimidated him a little earlier. When celebrating his goal, the 21-year-old winger proudly showed his skin color. It’s up to La Liga to respond even more harshly from now on.
