The Competition Committee of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) on Tuesday decided to ban a grandstand at the Mestalla stadium, home of Valencia, for five matches, after also fined the emblem €45,000 che and the lifting of the suspension of Vinicius Júnior, of Real Madrid, following his exclusion from Sunday’s game between the two teams.
“The partial closure will affect the so-called Grada Kempes,” the RFEF said in a statement.
The spire of meringues he was suspended in the dying moments of Valencia’s match for allegedly attacking an opponent, after being the target of racial slurs from supporters present at the Mestalla stadium.
The RFEF body believes that the evidence presented by Real Madrid means that “the veracity of the arbitration minutes” can be called into question.
The Competition Committee considers that a penalty “would form part of a permanent and total impunity, during the current season, of various acts of physical and verbal aggression, by opponents and supporters, against the excluded player, in view of the passivity of the arbitration teams, the RFEF and the League”.
“The performance of the video referee cannot be classified as ‘human error’ as the image shown to the referee of the match to judge the action was completely partial, biased and decisive for the referee’s error.” the Competition Commission, which understands that the eviction was “unfair”, “turned the victim into an aggressor”.
The organization also mentions that two consecutive minutes were delivered and only the second mentions the racist slurs received by Vinicius Júnior, yet “apparently insufficient for the reality of what happened” as it only mentions one supporter which the Brazilian calls “monkey”. “.
The Competition Commission’s communiqué states that insults were uttered by a large number of supporters upon arrival at the stadium and at various times during the match, and not just one, as stated in the arbitration minutes.
Vinicius’s insults were condemned by various sectors, including the Brazilian government itself.
