There's a big stir in Spain over what happened in Rayo Vallecano-Sevilla, when Lucas Ocampos was harassed. The Argentine striker had approached the stands, but a fan in the stands thought it was a good idea to touch his buttocks. A gesture that did not please the former Genoa and Milan player who brought it to the referee's attention. The fan's unhealthy idea sparked major controversies on all social networks in Spain, with the incident being described as physical harassment against the Argentine.

What happened

During the first half, more precisely at 33', Ocampos had approached the stands to take a throw-in. To get a run-up, however, he found himself a few steps from the fans sitting in the front row with one of them, very young, who thought it was a good idea to touch the player's buttocks with a finger. Sevilla immediately issued a statement condemning the gesture: "Sevilla FC deeply regrets the incident that occurred this Monday in the match against Rayo Vallecano, in which our player Lucas Ocampos suffered an obscene and totally inappropriate gesture from a local fan. Sevilla FC hopes that appropriate measures will be taken. that characterizes the regulation so that such behaviors do not repeat on a football field, and this has been transferred to the Liga. These gestures and behaviors should not be allowed in our competition if we aspire to be the best league in the world".
