LaLiga has submitted its weekly reports to the RFEF Competition Committee and the Anti-Violence Commission after the first two rounds of Primera and Segunda división were completed. The documents list insulting and intolerant chants heard in five stadiums, including abuse directed at Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and slogans against Spain and its national team.

  • Insults to Pedro Sánchez at the Metropolitano, the Coliseum and Los Cármenes during the second matchday.
  • Chants of 'Puta España y puta selección' at the Camp Nou and El Sadar.
  • Chants against Barça and Catalonia at the Metropolitano.
  • Offensive chants aimed at the Nou Camp at the RCDE Stadium, repeated across two matches.
  • A highly aggressive chant against Zaragoza, Aragón and the police at El Sadar.

Insults to Pedro Sánchez at three venues in the first two matchdays

The reports detail that the chant 'Pedro Sánchez, hijo de puta' was heard at the Estadio Metropolitano during Atlético de Madrid vs Villarreal, at the Coliseum during Getafe vs Racing de Ferrol, and at Los Cármenes during Granada vs Mallorca. All three fixtures took place on matchday two.

These incidents come amid growing scrutiny of fan behaviour in Spanish football. LaLiga has operated a weekly reporting system for several seasons, passing on this type of episode to the relevant bodies so they can act under existing regulations.

The complaint also includes the chant 'Puta España y puta selección' at two different grounds. The first was at the Camp Nou during Barcelona vs Athletic Club on matchday one. The second was at El Sadar during Osasuna vs Levante on the second round of fixtures.

Chants between rival fan bases reach LaLiga's report

At the Metropolitano, LaLiga also reported chants of 'Puto Barça, puta Cataluña' during the match against Villarreal. The friction between supporter groups was not limited to that venue: at the RCDE Stadium, the chant 'Es un piloto fantástico, aterrizaje divino, vamos talibán, aviones al Nou Camp' was recorded both in the match against Elche and the one against Real Madrid.

El Sadar produces the harshest chant of the early season

The most detailed entry in the report concerns a chant heard at El Sadar aimed at Zaragoza and Aragón. The lyrics reported include: 'La Romareda, puta pocilga, donde se juntan Ligallo y Policía. Que puto olor, que porquería, con una bomba todo aquello volaría, una explosión de Goma 2 y que le den por culo a Aragón. El Osasuna que se la goza, viendo quemarse a esa puta Zaragoza'.

These chants are listed as prohibited and therefore punishable behaviours, both in the RFEF Code of Sports Discipline and in the legislation against violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sport.

What happens after LaLiga files its report

LaLiga sends these reports to the Competition Committee and the Anti-Violence Commission on a weekly basis. It is up to those organisations to decide whether to open disciplinary proceedings and, if so, to impose financial or sporting sanctions on the clubs involved.

The league body underlines that this kind of expression is covered by current legislation against violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sport. Forwarding the reports is part of the standard protocol applied after every round of matches.
