“In England they don’t insult you… and I think that it is because this issue has been resolved a long time ago. They took drastic measures, five years English fans were expelled from Europe. There, there are isolated cases of racism, but they don’t insult you.”

Finally, Ancelotti noted that the football community worldwide is waiting to see the actions taken by the Spanish FA and La Liga to end similar attacks on players.
