Espanyol rescued an incredible result against Atletico Madrid. The side led by coach Luis Garcia made an epic comeback from 0-3 down to take a hard-fought point, which keeps them up next season.
However, going beyond the action on the pitch, racist abuse from a fan came close to ruining the spectacular clash taking place.
'Movistar' cameras captured someone located in the lower stand who started to insult Rodrigo de Paul, one of the 'Colchonero' players.
Security personnel, who were nearby, saw the Espanyol fan's abuse and immediately moved to throw him out the stadium, without giving him any time to try and justify his actions.
Since the controversy surrounding Vinicius Jr, the Espanyol fan clearly didn't get the memo, but the security guards at the RCDE Stadium made it clear to him that racism has no place in football.
In this way, it is clear that the recent messages of the clubs and the players after the Mestalla scandal have begun to have at least some impact and to generate consequences on the violent people who try to overshadow the sport.
