Sad spectacle this Sunday evening at the Civitas Metropolitano. The Madrid derby, which was supposed to be a celebration of football, turned into a nightmare because of the stupidity of some Atlético supporters. Jordan Bajo, French photographer and content creator, was present on site and published a message on Instagram to denounce the racist chants of “hundreds” of Colchoneros supporters.

Tonight I experienced the worst match of my life. Not on a football level, but on a human level. Hundreds of Atlético de Madrid supporters chanting “mono” (monkey) to Vinicius Jr., monkey cries accompanied by racist insults, each one as sickening as the next, coming from adults and young children alike … I never felt so bad, the atmosphere was so heavy. I’m still stunned to have witnessed this. Racism is a scourge that must be punished seriously. He doesn’t belong anywhere», Wrote the Frenchman in an Instagram story, disappointed by the show he had just witnessed. A new racism scandal therefore, which will once again tarnish the image of football.
