Full stands, careful production, official uniforms and almost a million viewers on the Twitch platform: the second edition of Eleven All Stars, a football match organized between Spanish and French streamers – with the very popular content creators Djilsi, Carlito or even Inoxtag –, saw the red Internet Version will take revenge on the Bléus (2-0), on Saturday, October 14 in Madrid, after the defeat suffered two years earlier at the Stade Jean-Bouin in Paris, by the same score.
The event was intended to be festive and unifying, despite the tensions created between the two teams, in part to guarantee the spectacle. This Saturday, the error did not occur on the grass, but in the stands of the Metropolitan Stadium. In the second half, when Spain was already leading by one goal, he scored in the 24th minute.my One minute into the game, Frenchman Brawks, co-founder of the Gentle Mates e-sports team, denounced racist shouts and gestures from a local fan against him.
The spectator excluded from the stadium.
After the confrontation with the victim, the ‘bleus’ returned to the locker room to protest, supported by their Spanish counterparts, in solidarity with the situation. The match was interrupted for several minutes and stadium security teams expelled the spectator who caused the disturbance.
“It went a little in all directionsconfided one of the match organizers and captain of the French team, AmineMaTue, after the final whistle. After the break we let go a little mentally, there was a false rhythm. I apologize to the fans, it was me who put them in this situation, I am ready to assume the sporting and non-sporting role. »
Other problematic behaviors were filmed and heard during the meeting. If the first edition of Once All Stars was developed correctly, the second, which however requires good editing, did not escape the wave of racism regularly reported but not contained in European stadiums.
