After the game, Ancelotti had an embrace with Modric who he knows well from his two spells at Real Madrid. During it, he was spotted asking the midfielder: "You don't have a Brazilian grandfather, do you?" This was a clear reference to the enormous qualities of the Croatian phenomenon, who at 41 would still be useful in any midfield, even that of Brazil.

De Zerbi's defense of Mason Greenwood, particularly a narrow-minded attempt to brush the former Manchester United's alleged rape under the carpet, should have been enough to see Spurs steer clear of him.

It pains me that a figure like Lamine had to go through that. The image Spain has projected is not the one I know. It's a disgrace. Lamine didn't deserve what he went through.

I am a Muslim, thank God. Yesterday in the stadium, we heard the chant 'whoever does not jump is a Muslim'. I know it was directed to the opposing team and nothing towards myself as a person, but as a Muslim myself this does not stop being a lack of respect and something we can't tolerate.

Luis de la Fuente expressed 'total and absolute disgust' for the behavior of some Spanish fans, stating that 'any form of xenophobia, racism or disrespect' is absolutely unacceptable. He emphasized that 'violent people use football to carve out a space for themselves' and must be removed from society.

Mr Gianluca Prestianni remains provisionally suspended for the next UEFA club competition match for which he would otherwise be eligible. UEFA said on Monday the imposition of a provisional suspension was without prejudice to any ruling that the UEFA disciplinary bodies may subsequently make following the conclusion of the ongoing investigation and its respective submission to the UEFA disciplinary bodies.

The Public Prosecutor's Office of the Principality of Asturias has formally requested a prison sentence of one year and three months for a young supporter accused of shouting a racist insult at the Barcelona forward. The incident took place when Rashford was preparing to take a corner. Prosecutors state that the accused shouted a racial slur loudly enough to be heard by nearby spectators.

Vinicius Junior and his teammates appeared ready to walk off and the game was put on hold for 10 minutes after the Brazilian told the referee that he had been subject to racist abuse after scoring the goal that gives Real Madrid a 1-0 first-leg lead in their Champions League playoff against Benfica. Vinicius had celebrated the strike dancing in the corner of the Estadio da Luz and in the confrontations that followed, Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni said something to him while covering his mouth.

Benfica categorically denies that player Prestianni communicated to the squad or the club's management that he had uttered a racist insult against Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior. As has already been made public, the player apologised to his teammates for the incident that occurred during the match against Real Madrid, regretting its magnitude and consequences and assuring everyone, as he has done from the very beginning, that he is not racist.
