La Liga has referred a report to the Competition Committee of the Spanish Football Federation and the National Commission against Violence after recording chants it classified as inciting violence, insulting or intolerant during several Spanish league matches.
The report covers incidents at Valencia v Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid v Barcelona, Celta Vigo v Levante and Espanyol v Deportivo, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.
Seven incidents reported at Mestalla
Seven separate incidents were recorded during Valencia’s match against Real Madrid at Mestalla, all from the Gol Sur/Grada Mario Alberto Kempes stand.
One minute before kick-off, at 20:59, a section of Valencia supporters reportedly chanted collectively and in an organised manner for about 12 seconds: “Come and see, come and see, this is not a goalkeeper, she is a cabaret prostitute.”
In the fifth minute, the same group chanted for about 10 seconds: “Yes, yes, Real Madrid the whore.” They then repeated another chant for around 10 seconds: “Real Madrid, sons of whores.”
The latter chant was repeated in the 80th minute, again for about 10 seconds.
A further chant, “That Portuguese, what a son of a whore,” was recorded in the 23rd minute and lasted approximately 10 seconds.
Kylian Mbappe was targeted in the 78th minute, when supporters chanted “Mbappe, son of a whore” for about 10 seconds. The same chant was repeated in the 85th minute.
Barcelona and Catalonia targeted
At Atletico Madrid v Barcelona, La Liga reported one incident in the 31st minute involving home supporters in the lower section of the south stand, occupying sectors 127 to 133.
The supporters chanted collectively for about eight seconds: “Barcelona the whore and Catalonia the whore.”
The report also said fireworks were set off in the lower south stand shortly before kick-off, causing smoke to rise in the area.
At Celta Vigo v Levante, supporters in the middle section of the lower Marcador stand chanted for about 15 seconds in the seventh minute: “Abascal, son of a whore.”
Abuse during Espanyol v Deportivo
Several incidents were recorded during Espanyol’s match against Deportivo. Supporters in sectors 109, 110 and 111 of the Gol Cornella stand, including members of the Grada Canito group, were reported to have chanted in an organised manner.
At 39:30, they sang “Deportivo the whore and Riazor Blues the whore” for about five seconds. The chant was repeated at 53:20 for approximately 10 seconds.
At 61:30, a chant lasting about 10 seconds said: “He is a great pilot, divine landing, come on Taliban, planes to Camp Nou.”
In the 65th minute, at 65:10, supporters chanted “We want Yan’s head” for around 15 seconds.
At 71:50, chants aimed at Barcelona began with “Barcelona the whore”, followed by “Barcelona, Barcelona, rubbish”, before returning to “Barcelona the whore”. La Liga said supporters in other areas of the stadium also joined in.
At 73:40, while the visiting number 20 was lying on the pitch, supporters chanted “Crush him, crush him” for about five seconds. The same chant was repeated at 88:20 for a further five seconds.
