The Champions League of Youth encounter between Borussia Dortmund and Seville was officiated by officials who, according to the German club, did nothing to address a “racist accident” that occurred during the game.
When one of the German team’s players was injured once more during the game, Dortmund claimed that the referees stated: “They observed that the voices of clear monkeys cannot be regarded a clear racist event.”
The same Seville player who racially insulted Abdullah Camara in the meeting on Tuesday also did so during the two teams’ game last week in Spain, according to Sebastian Keel, Dortmund’s director of sports.
Dortmund announced in the statement: “After the accident last week, we hoped to see a firm position taken by Seville, in light of the previous events, we resorted to the jury and asked them to act with greater sensitivity in this regard, which they agreed to do. ”
However, after it happened again and Abdo Camara attempted to get the fourth referee’s attention, the German club continued: “The jury claimed that the voices of clear monkeys cannot be called a definite racial phenomena.
Dortmund stated: “Despite the event happening again, we didn’t leave the stadium right away since the referee’s conduct uncomfortably made us feel uneasy; if we tried to steal the ball, their word would be against us.
Keel stressed: “We were afraid that by not officially adhering to the previous agreements and not following the instructions, our players and we as a team and a club will face additional penalties, so instead we decided to give a suitable reaction to our opponents at the sporting level and through our behavior. ”
Luka Berto, an Italian, officiated the game, and Dortmund defeated Seville 2-0.
In the Champions League for young players, Dortmund alleges that one of its players is racist.
