Spanish clubs against racism
The initial reaction came from the Bundesliga and the rest of European football has shown support for the 'Black Lives Matter' campaign.
For example, Inaki Williams, the Athletic Bilbao player who was the victim of a racist incident earlier this season at Espanyol, had his say.
"We are all one. No to racism;" the Basque striker wrote on Instagram, slamming the wave of racism there has been in recent days. On Twitter, Williams used the Hashtag #BlackOutTuesday, which just saw people putting a black background as their image.

His teammate Unai Nunez also showed his support. "It's unbelievable given the century we are in... Lamentable... This has to stop now!," he said while sharing a link of the video which sees George Floyd on the floor in his final movements while a policeman has a knee on his neck.
Atletico Madrid's Koke and Saul also did their bit by publishing the same thing with the same hashtags.
