The convicted individual, an Espanyol fan, was caught making monkey noises and aggressive gestures towards the African MVP winner Williams during a January 2020 away match in the domestic league when the striker was substituted.

While Espanyol fans reported that about 12 people participated in the racial abuse, the authorities could identify and prosecute only one offender.

This conviction is part of a broader crackdown on racism in LaLiga. In recent years, there have been multiple convictions related to racial abuse.

In May, five Valladolid fans were found guilty of abusing Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior, and in 2024, three Valencia fans received eight-month prison sentences for discriminatory behavior towards the same player.

Additionally, earlier this year, the match between Athletic Bilbao and Espanyol was temporarily halted due to racist incidents.

The conviction of the Espanyol fan marks a significant step toward justice for naki Williams and highlights Spain’s intensified efforts to combat racism in football, sending a strong message that such behavior will not be tolerated.
