A Real Club Desportivo Mallorca fan has been hit with a 3-year ban for racially abusing Villarreal CF winger Samuel Chukwueze NPFL Updates reports.
In a La Liga fixture between Villarreal CF and RCD Mallorca last February, a fan was spotted constantly abusing Chukwueze.
Chukwueze was instrumental for the yellow submarines on February 18, when they visited the Mallorca Estadio in Palma Dr Mallorca. He scored an equalizer in the 59th minute, however, the former UEFA Europa League champions fell to a 4-2 loss.
Chukwueze racially abused by RCD Mallorca fan
Coincidentally, the same fan who abused Chukwueze, was pictured abusing Brazilian forward Vinicius last April.
Real Madrid in April last year, lost an away fixture to Mallorca. The fan was captured calling Vinicius a “monkey”.
Reacting to the awful behaviour of the fan, the RCD Mallorca Ethics Committee, resolved and withdrew the Fan’s subscription card for three years.
According to the committee, the club excluded itself from any xenophobic manifestations.
The ban would serve as a wake-up call for those who may want to go the part of racism.
The national police have also take up the case and a court date for prosecution is scheduled for April 4, 2023.
