Police have arrested a pair of Sevilla fans over alleged racist abuse aimed towards Manchester City youngster Rico Lewis during Wednesday night’s Champions League match at the Etihad.
Man City were 3-1 winners over the La Liga side in their final group stage match and it was a special night for Lewis as the 17-year-old started a match in Europe’s biggest competition and scored the equaliser for the Premier League side – becoming the youngest-ever player to score on their first start in the competition.
The right-back was substituted during the 85th minute and it is alleged that the racist incident happened as Lewis walked past the away fans whilst walking back to the City bench.
Two Sevilla supporters have been arrested after the reported incident, states the Daily Star, as the authorities set about punishing them for their actions.

What is racist abuse?
Not a difficult concept.
Does it mean they uttered insults, or does it mean they physically accosted them?
Thinkspeak.
Lack of free speech.
and then
"the authorities set about punishing them"
Hmmm.
The Sevilla fans supposedly started making monkey sounds and moving up and down like a chimpanzee. Basically calling the player an ape.
In Europe, there is no such thing as free speech. You will go to jail for this unless you are a protected class (i.e. a Mooselimb).
The overt racism by some European sports fans is something we don’t see in the US at this point in history. They throw bananas on the field, yell insults - including horrible comments about a player’s wife and family, and even throw bottles at players.
The hallmark of the Left:
“Our violence is speech. Your speech is violence.”
