Primera Division

Bilbao star Williams racially insulted

Spanish offensive player Inaki Williams was apparently racially insulted by the spectators on Saturday during the points game in the Primera Division between Espanyol Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao (1:1).

“It’s a sad day, something like this is totally inappropriate and must not happen,” said the 25-year-old.

League president Javier Tebas spoke on Twitter of a “step backwards in the work we started years ago”. Things like this “did great damage to Spanish football”.

Especially during his 69th-minute substitution, he said, the insults were said to have been directed at the dark-skinned athletic professional. Espanyol is threatened with a sanction by the Spanish federation.
