“Knee to the ground and raised fist for Marcelo after his goal. A tribute to George Floyd and a demand against racism ”, commented Marca, the best-selling daily newspaper in Spain.

After the photo of Valencia CF players in support of the "Black Lives Matter" movement on June 9, this is the first demonstration of solidarity with the anti-racist movement carried out in the middle of the Liga match.
