Defender “Pachuki” Gustavo Kabral commented on the incident with Real Madrid player Antonio Rudiger.
There was nothing racist. I called him a cowardly asshole—that’s what we say in Argentina. That’s the whole situation. There was a fight. We supported him, but nothing more. The referee made an anti-radio gesture, but I kept repeating the same thing: “Cowardly asshole.” There shouldn’t be any punishment for such words. It’s just such an expression.
Recall that in the 95th minute of the second round match between Real Madrid and Pachuk (3-1), the referee activated the anti-paramedic protocol, which was set out by the crossed hands. The match was stopped for several minutes, then the teams finished their meeting. Madrid head coach Habi Alonso also spoke about the situation and said that FIFA will conduct an investigation.
