Explained: Why Mason Greenwood's loan club Getafe have been hit with partial stadium ban

LaLiga

Getafe

Real Valladolid

Sevilla

Rayo Vallecano

The Madrid club were hit with a €27,000 fine and will have to close off part of their central stand for the next three games in La Liga as part of a punishment from Spanish football's governing body, it was announced on Wednesday.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The partial closure is punishment for the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mason-greenwood-getafe-sevilla-manager-shocking-gypsy-claim-abhorrent-racist-chanting-forces-la-liga-game-stopped/blt35a179d36b0a9678" target="_blank">racial and xenophobic abuse that was aimed at Sevilla coach Quique Sanchez Flores and Marcos Acuna</a> in last week's La Liga game. The match was stopped by referee Iglesias Villanueva in the second half as part of the league's protocol for dealing with racism after racial insults were aimed at the defender and the coach.

THE EXPLANATION

Spanish football has toughened its stance on racism following many high-profile incidents. Real Madrid star <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/vinicius-junior-la-liga-spanish-football-facilitating-racism/bltf7197711ead997d9" target="_blank">Vinicius Junior has been a vocal critic of the lack of action taken to fight the issue</a> in Spain after he was the target of abuse on many occasions.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Sevilla boss Sanchez Florez was appalled after being insulted during the game. He said afterwards: "I don't want people to use the word gypsy as a racist insult. Some of the crowd think they can come to a game and say whatever they like. We're workers who need to be respected in the work space. I think it's abhorrent."

DID YOU KNOW?

Getafe, who are 11th in La Liga and still in with an outside chance of European qualification with Manchester United loanee Greenwood leading their charge, will see their capacity reduced for their next three home matches. However, their next match is away to Rayo Vallecano on April 13 before they return home to face Real Sociedad on April 21.
