Barcelona midfielder Ilaix Moriba has revealed he has received racist abuse online as he continues contract negotiations with the Catalan giants over a new deal.
The 18-year-old published a video on TikTok where he shows some of the messages he has received. Moriba shakes his head and adds the caption, “Seriously?”
Barca shared the video with a strong message of support for the midfielder.
Moriba is sadly not the first footballer to be targeted in this way. Most recently, England trio Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka suffered online abuse after missing penalties in the Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy.
