HIBAPRESS-RABAT
Diego Simeone’s former assistant and Movistar analyst Germán Bourjos made racist comments yesterday Wednesday evening against Barcelona’s Yamin Yamal, saying he would end up at the “red light” if things did not go well for him, which led the channel to stop dealing with him.
In his pre-match analysis, Argentinian Bourjos said about Lamin Yamal: Be careful Lamine, if things don’t go well for you, you will end up at the red light. A reference to beggars in the streets.
These remarks quickly caused an uproar, with players from FC Barcelona and PSG refusing to speak to the channel after the end of their Champions League quarter-final first leg, which the former won 3-2.
Bourjos later released a statement: I apologize for the comments I made during the show, I did not intend to hurt Lamine Yamal, FC Barcelona or anyone else, I beg your pardon.
Movistar confirmed that Bourjos’ time with the channel was over after his racist remarks, saying in a statement: “The channel does not tolerate any form of racism: “This is why we have decided to immediately suspend Germán Bourjos and the presenter who was with him at the time was given a warning to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
Born in Barcelona in 2007 to a Moroccan father and Equatorial Guinean mother, Lamin Yamal recently decided to represent Spain, becoming the youngest player to play for the first team at the age of 16 years and 50 days , after which he became the youngest player to score a goal for Spain.
