Levante player accuses Celta’s Aspas of racist insult
MADRID — Levante midfielder Jefferson Lerma has accused Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas of using a racist slur to insult him during a Spanish league match on Sunday.
Lerma tells GOL television that “these acts of racism can’t happen.”
Aspas, who is a Spain international, denies racially abusing Lerma.
Aspas tells Celta’s website that “what is said on the pitch, stays on the pitch, so I won’t repeat what he said to me. In any case, I did not say what he says I did.”
