Barcelona defender Alejandro Balde confirmed he was racially abused by Getafe fans.
La Blaugrana slipped to a fourth successive draw at the Estadio Coliseum as they continued to struggle against the battling hosts.
A lack of attacking potency was the key issue for Barcelona as flagged up by Hansi Flick in his post game interview.
The draw leaves Barcelona five points adrift of the La Liga summit on a frustrating night for Flick.
The former Bayern Munich head coach indicated his annoyance at certain incidents involving home fans, but declined to be drawn on details after the game.
Defender Balde was clearer on the matter as he confirmed match referee Pablo Gonzalez Fuertes activated a La Liga protocol on racist chanting with a stadium tannoy warning made.
“I was subjected to racist abuse in the first half. It shouldn’t happen anymore. Now I want to focus on the incoming Champions League match,” as per quotes from Marca.
“I told the referee and he activated the protocol. Now we have to try to forget it.”
Flick backed up Balde’s comments, claiming there is ‘no room for this in football or life’, with La Liga expected to offer an update on a potential sanctions for Getafe in the coming days.

You're so useless, you can never comment right. You shouldn't be talking to any of those barca fans this season.
But not as useless as your p*rents , you see that how people change, you people are supporting racism because it’s vini , now it’s your player , we all support it

Brr we are not fighting against it again, they don’t know it’s because they are underperforming that’s why they are not target. Now they are performing really well, there are still many to come, I love it this way

shut up clown ,vini attitude sucks , no such thing like he is d best among them or the blackest they are so many racist in Spain that deserves jail time for being a racist but vini also deserves mass beating because his attitude is disgusting that's y he gets more racist abuse, so stop assuming nonsense like he gets abuse the more because he is d best among them , that's a big dumb assumption
You said his behavior is bad and i said it’s what other players always do and nothing will happen, tell me one or two of vini behavior? I know you won’t see one , unless you say he dance and laugh at opponents, this what pique and Neymar always do to us and we won’t do anything lol 😂 , this life Barca and its fans just like playing victim

I live in a place where my shade is often prejudicial. And what I've learned is that the way I carry myself is a shield against the ignorants around me. Rodry, Balde, Nico.... yet only Vini a victim. I doubt you might understand, so imma stop here.
who told you Nico is not a victim...he is always talking about the Racism in Spain

r u seriously comparing and normalizing racist behaviour as if all these players deserve it
yes especially Barcelona players. if you can't support others to fight it then you shouldn't complain when you get the same treatment.

Barca will never change a red card and at least two match ban was supposed to be given to balde but nothing was done for hitting a player on the face.if it was Vini it would have been a different thing
How does this become a Barca affair? Stop being shameless

Balde knows how to control it because he tells the referee the needful he doesn't behave like your Vini
if im at the receiving end of extreme vitriol in terms of racism it should be nobodys business whether i cry or i shout, and it should be everyones business to call out the racism and make sure the ppl who are being racist are shamed to death. racism against both balde and vini is shameful to the core, and ppl comparing the two as if they r in some competition is shameful too

You guys let us stop the topic because you had already won the trust of fifa. Referees are working on your support. Their players attacking referees their players slap the players and they remained enlarged in the pitch so what do you want again wait camp Nou

Sorry that happen to Blade but this Getafe team is one of the worst football club in the world.
Gatefe is not worse team the worse team to me is Barcelona unless you have different ideas in your minds or Barcelona supporter, am not supporting racist but you don't slap someone while what's written there is called game to play not to fight

Vinicius is racist abuse. At the same time, he received a red card, which is why Blade should have received a red card, but not a red card because there's no referee in the pitch he was another Barcelona player

That referee is totally lacking control of the game. What I realised as a person all referee from Laliga hate others team or clubs, especially when they played with Barcelona, there's nowhere in the world that player slap another player and referee is walking away and the player is down

Balde should have been sent off of not Barcelona getting support from referees otherwise how come he slap the player and he still in the pitch
