The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has vowed to get tough on racial problems following Atletico Madrid's game with Real Madrid. Racist chanting, particularly aimed at Brazilian full-back Roberto Carlos, who plays for Real Madrid, marred the game.
"The Sports Council, the (RFEF), the Football League and the Spanish Players Association want to reiterate their condemnation," read a statement. "They also want to reaffirm their determination to take tough action against any evidence of racism.."
The Madrid incident followed racist chanting aimed at England's Shaun Wright-Phillips and Ashley Cole during a friendly match against Spain last November. Spain's national coach, Luis Aragones, is also under investigation for racist comments.
