Spain's head coach Luis de la Fuente has firmly stated that Spanish football is not racist ahead of England's UEFA Nations League match in Madrid. This comes after England manager Thomas Tuchel reminded his players about UEFA's anti-racism protocol in preparation for the fixture. De la Fuente's comments come amid previous racism incidents in Spanish football, including racist chants directed at Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior.
Tuchel had earlier explained that he would remind his players about the protocol if racist behavior occurs during the match. Spain's coach, however, emphasized his trust in a friendly atmosphere and praised both teams' playing philosophies.
