"Dumb people are everywhere" - Athletic Club's Nico Williams calls for change after being racially abused
Atletico Madrid secured a big three points in the race for Champions League qualification on Saturday, as they defeated closest challengers Athletic Club 3-1 at the Civitas Metropolitano. However, the match will be remembered for a unsavoury incident involving Nico Williams, who was subjected to racist abuse by a section of home supporters.
The incident took place in the first half, and caused a delay as the relevant officials worked to get on top of the situation. Williams responded in the best way, as he scored sooner after, and celebrated in front of the section where the abuse came from.
The game had to be stopped for 2 minutes due to racist insults from Atleti ‘fans’ directed towards Nico Williams.
Absolutely disgusting. Racism has no place in football.
