LaLiga calls out disrespectful chants towards Barça and Bordalás during match at San Mamés

First match of the 2024-25 season and first possibility of sanction for Athletic for what happened in the stands of San Mamés against Getafe. LaLiga has registered five incidents in the complaint letter that it sends weekly to the Competition Committee and the Anti-Violence Commission with those chants that originate in the stadiums and incite violence or have insulting or intolerant content.

The insults in La Catedral were directed at Barcelona and Bordalás and they all came from the popular stands at San Mamés, as specified in the LaLiga statement. They came in the 41st, 72nd, 75th, 82nd and 87th minutes. “F***ing Barça” and “Bordalás son of a b****” chanted a small section of the Athletic fans in chorus.

In the last chant, produced against the Getafe coach, he adds that it was supported “by the vast majority of the rest of the stands, without specifying the number” and also that the Bilbao team “broadcast a message on the video scoreboard against racism as a reaction measure”.

“The events mentioned occurred only in the area described, with the majority of the other local fans present in the stadium behaving appropriately except for one of the chants,” LaLiga said. Athletic now faces a financial penalty.
