Levante surprised Atletico Madrid 2-0 in La Liga action as the team came out flat after their Champions League semi this week against Chelsea...
And, as is the fans wont these days, there are some who think the best way to go after their rival players is to do some really stupid, racist chants...
Pape Diop was the Atleti fan's target, but he wouldn't have any of it...
They called the Senegali national a monkey, so he responded to their chant with a dance to draw attention to their idiocy...
Classy...
Marca caught up with Diop afterwards, translated:
"They called me monkey and I turned and imitated a monkey," said midfielder granota whole. "I'm tired of racism in football. And there's a lot."
"I made the monkey dance to play the matter. Wanted people to know what happened," said Diop, whose gesture provoked the anger of the fans and some Atletico players.
"I do not know if it's racist or disrespectful, but they have to finish the screaming monkey made by some," said Levante player, who claimed to have been subjected to racist abuse from the fans of Atletico "throughout the game."
First Dani Alves, now Diop... Hopefully, it sends a message to FIFA. But the HQ doubts it...
