Jude Bellingham believes “more needs to be done” by football authorities after the latest incident of racist abuse in La Liga.On Saturday, a Mallorca fan was shown on televised footage making a monkey gesture after Bellingham’s Real Madrid teammate Aurelien Tchouameni scored the only goal of the game.”I think in the games where we go away in La Liga especially, you almost get so used to it,” said Bellingham after Saturday’s racist abuse of Tchouameni was highlighted. “More needs to be done, whether punishments or how you react proactively.”It’s horrible to prepare for a game knowing you might be abused, it is disgusting and the people in power need to do more.##NAJAVA_MECA_8038544####EDITORS_CHOICE##In March, Vinicius Jr. said racist abuse directed towards him is getting worse because perpetrators are going unpunished, as he broke down in tears during an emotional Brazil press conference.”With Vini, over the years, the blame gets shifted onto him because of how he plays and how he expresses himself. The game would miss players like Vini if he decided to take a break because of this kind of thing.”More needs to be done to support these kind of players.”It’s disgusting, shouldn’t happen.” Jude Bellingham says the people in power need to do more about the racism players suffer at games.pic.twitter.com/HCovDlqFYz— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) April 16, 2024 “It’s definitely a call-out to the people who are in charge of taking control. I doubt it will happen. It’s going to be something I imagine we will just have to deal with when going into games.”But it’s kind of one of those things where you just have to play your game and hope that the people look after you, and they’re not doing it well enough at the minute.”
