Arne Slot calls for tougher action after racism towards Vinicius Jr. | OneFootball

Asked about the case of racism suffered by Vinicius Jr in the match between Real Madrid and Benfica in the Champions League, Arne Slot, coach of Liverpool, stated that more must be done to prevent such situations from happening.

“In general, it's never enough, we can always do more to ensure this never happens again. We must try, as a football community, to do more than society does. In fact, maybe it's not that difficult,” said Slot.

“The protocol was followed in the game, that's the first step. The football world reacted as we expect it to react,” he stated.
