More than 24 hours after Athletic striker Iaki Williams denounced the racist cries he suffered at the Espanyol stadium, the Real Federacin Espaola de Ftbol (RFEF) issued a statement in which he wanted to look good with everyone. On the one hand, I described the facts of extreme gravity and deserving of exemplary punishment and the most complete collective social rejection, in addition to announcing a complaint before the National Anti-Violence Commission. On the other, I tried to exonerate the party referee from any responsibility Snchez Martnez, who did not reflect in his record anything that happened, despite being warned by Muniain of what happened.

The body chaired by Luis Rubiales is shielded – who yesterday personally called Williams and the president of Athletic, Aitor Elizegi– in which neither the arbitrator (…), nor the assistants of the referee, nor the Federative Delegate, nor even the Delegate of the League had any direct knowledge of such racist and intolerant attitudes or numbers during the meeting. Therefore, the note argues, Snchez Martnez did not put it in writing, despite having been warned by Muniain, as he acknowledges – not to mention the name of the footballer – the RFEF in his statement.

Yesterday, however, Mateu Lahoz He reflected normally in his Atletico-Legans record that goalkeeper Cullar moved him that he had been attacked by a ball boy. Neither one nor the other had direct knowledge of both realities, only indirectly through the mouth of a soccer player, but one (Mateu Lahoz) reflected it in his minutes and another (Snchez Martnez) obviated it.

LaLiga also made a new statement yesterday announcing its willingness to identify offenders in order to initiate criminal proceedings for a hate crime, in addition to reiterating that denouncing the facts before the Anti-Violence Commission. In addition, it will propose to the RFEF Competition Committee the partial closure of the affected harrow.

About the incidents leading on Saturday by radicals outside of Mestalla Y Cornell, LaLiga will now focus on reviewing the regulation of ticket sales, in relation to the tickets that are made available to the visiting club. It should be remembered that a group of Atletico radicals accessed Ipurua nine days ago with tickets that Eibar provided to the club rojiblanco.
