Ghana striker Inaki Williams has again voiced his support to Real Madrid winger Vinicius Juniour while describing Spain as an “elitist” society.
Speaking in an appearance on ESPN’s Bicycle Diaries, the Black Stars player spoke out against racism in football especially in the Spanish La Liga.
Williams was racially abused in a game between his Athletic Bilbao side and Espanyol in 2020; he reacted with a statement that read, “It’s sad that to this day we are still seeing racism in football.”
“In Spain, I think that people are elitist. If you have a lot of money like I do, they don’t look at you skin colour but if you are a street vendor, they do” he said on the show and touched on the Vinicius Juniour racism row stating,
“I would have appreciated it if all the Real Madrid players walked off and the game had been stopped.”
The 29 year old has four goals and two assists in nine games in all competitions this season for Bilbao.
Williams is in line to play for Ghana’s Black Stars in international friendly games against Mexico and USA on October 15 and 18 respectively.
