Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, has expressed his pessimism that racism in Spain will be stopped soon. This follows the racist abuse directed at Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr at Valencia last Sunday. Guardiola, who began his playing and coaching careers with Barcelona, believes racism is a major problem not only in football, but in all aspects of life, not just in Spain. He believes it is a global issue that needs to be addressed. Guardiola is calling for more education and awareness to help combat racism and create a more tolerant society.
