Alonso says Fifa investigating racial abuse against Rudiger

Antonio Rudiger, the Real Madrid defender, claims that he was subjected to racist abuse after his team’s Club World Cup defeat to Pachuca.

Rudiger and Pachuca captain Gustavo Cabral got into a fight in injury time when the German defender fell to his feet after claiming that the Argentine had fouled him.

Then, Rudiger spoke with Ramon Abatti Abel, a referee who crossed his arms in front of his chest, indicating that the anti-racism protocol has been activated.

Whether the alleged racial abuse occurred in the crowd or a player is unknown.

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

Real won the game 3-1 after the incident, and the players rekindled their argument after the final whistle.

Real manager Xabi Alonso remarked, “We believe Rudiger, and that’s what he said.

In these kinds of circumstances, it is crucial to have zero tolerance. Fifa is currently conducting an investigation. All I can say is that.

Nothing ever really changes, according to Rudiger, who was then at Chelsea, but he will fight “against racist abuse.”
