Fighting racism in Spain is my lifelong mission, Williams says

Spain forward Nico Williams said fighting racism was his life goal following multiple incidents of racist abuse against Black players in the country, including himself, and Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr.

The Athletic Bilbao forward suffered racist abuse at Atletico Madrid last season, leading the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to order a partial closure of Atletico’s south stand for two matches.

“My brother (Bilbao and Ghana forward Inaki Williams) and I, as black people, have an important task in this life, which is the fight against racism,” Williams said in an interview with Spanish daily El Mundo.
