"Real racism is the lack of diversity among the associations"

INTERVIEWS Vincent Kompany has also shed his light on the racist sounds that Romelu Lukaku suffered last weekend. At Sky Sports, Kompany looked at the problem as we know it: from a broader perspective.


"Romelu was the victim of something outrageous, something that should never happen in a stadium or in society. But the real problem lies with the authorities that now have to make a decision," Kompany said.

"The big problem is that there is nobody in those associations who can understand exactly what Romelu is going through. You are dealing with a group of people and administrators who are all trying to tell how Romelu should think and how he should feel about this. There is no single decision-maker who can understand what Romelu has already experienced in his life. "

"That is the real problem. If you look at the composition of the UEFA, the Italian or English Associations, everywhere: there is a big diversity issue. As long as there is no diversity, you cannot make the right decision about sanctions. It's that simple. "
