“Atletik” was fined for racism, the appeal was rejected

The relationship between the city of Bilbao's “Atletik” team and the “Barcelona” club has been complicated for many years. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

This situation began especially during the times when the famous footballer Diego Maradona played for “Barcelona.” The fans of the Basque team always try to disturb their opponents.

In the last round of the previous season, “Atletik” hosted “Barcelona” at home, and this match was no exception. During the game, “Barcelona”'s young and talented player Lamine Yamal was targeted by various chants and shouts from the fans.

Later, these chants and shouts were deemed racist. As a result of this incident, the “Atletik” club was fined nine thousand euros.

The club expressed its dissatisfaction with this decision and filed an appeal. However, according to the latest information, the appeal was rejected and the fine remained in effect.

Thus, the “Atletik” team and its fans were held accountable for their actions. This incident once again highlighted the importance of justice and respect in football.
