LaLiga has presented a report to the Anti-Violence Commission that denounces insults directed at Real Madrid during the match between Sevilla and Osasuna held on Monday at the RamónSánchez-Pizjuán. The document, included in the organization's weekly meeting, includes the chants and the banner that caused the Madrid club to become uneasy and the controversy that follows from the last rivalry at the Bernabéu.
The report indicates that, in the 33rd minute of the match, Sevilla fans located in sectors N11, N12, N20, N21B and N22B of the Gol Norte stands sang a chant for approximately twelve seconds that included the phrase “Yes, yes, what a bitch Real Madrid!” This is a direct insult to the rival team that, according to the Commission, occurred in a choral and coordinated manner. In the 53rd minute, the same sectors showed off again, this time with the chant “Bastard referee!”, directed at the match referee. The report clarifies that these events were limited to the area described, while the rest of the fans in the stadium maintained appropriate behavior.
In addition to the chants, the report mentions the presence of a banner with the legend “the good Sevillista, always anti-Madrista” that was displayed during the match. The presence of this type of messages and the behavior of the fans have been a cause of concern for the Anti-Violence Commission, which demands that measures be taken to prevent future incidents of this type.
Sevilla, for its part, has declared that it has implemented all the necessary measures to avoid the repetition of these acts. The club projected a message of condemnation and rejection on the stadium's video scoreboards, urging fans to stop intolerant behavior and respect the sporting environment. Despite these actions, the Anti-Violence Commission indicates that the club could face a proposed financial penalty if it is determined that sufficient measures have not been taken.
The LaLiga report adds to the series of controversies that have surrounded Real Madrid in recent matches, including the recent match at the Bernabéu that generated a statement from the Andalusian club against the Technical Committee of Referees and the visit of the president of Sevilla to Madrid to demand explanations. With the complaint filed, the League seeks to reinforce the fight against violence and racism in Spanish football, while Sevilla must respond to possible sanctions and demonstrate its commitment to discipline and respect in the stadium.
