Rudiger complained of alleged racist incident – Alonso

Antonio Rudiger, who Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso claims he was racially racially abused during their club world cup victory over Mexican side Pachuca, is the subject of a complaint from Real Madrid manager.

Rudiger and Pachuca captain Gustavo Cabral argued in stoppage time after claiming he had been fouled.

Ramon Abatti Abel, a referee, crossed his arms in front of Rudiger to let him know that Fifa’s anti-racism protocol had been activated.

Cabral claimed Rudiger had used an expletive and called him a “coward,” but he denied racially abusing him.

If a match is stopped, suspended, or abandoned if the issue persists, Fifa’s three-step system for racism applies.

Alonso responded, “Toni has informed us about something,” and asked if Rudiger had received a racist insult.

“We must wait and see now,” he said. I believe the Fifa investigation protocol has been activated.

However, if something did occur, we would support Antonio because this is unacceptable.

There is no tolerance for this in football, and whenever it occurs, steps must be taken.

Antonio has said, “We believe him, and that’s what he’s telling us.”

Cabral remarked, “It was a fight. We scuffled. He claimed that I struck him with my hand, and the referee immediately raised the racism sign, but I continued to tell him the same thing throughout the entire incident.

In a press conference held following the game, Pachuca head coach Jaime Lozano stated, “I haven’t spoken to Cabral about this.

Because this is the first time I’ve heard of this news, I can’t explain it to you.

It is “unjustifiable at all,” he said. I’ve known him for a while, but I’ve never heard of anything similar happening to Pachuca players.

I’ll talk to my captain about it with him, but I can’t at all.

Fifa has contacted BBC Sport for comment.

Nothing ever really changes “after anti-discrimination campaigns in football, but he will” fight “against racist abuse,” Rudiger, who was then at Chelsea, said in 2021.
