Real Madrid saw their victory overshadowed in the World Cup at the club at Pachuca by accusations of racism made by Antonio Rudiger, and FIFA has now taken the next step in their efforts to discover the truth of the situation.
During the match in Charlotte, Rudiger claimed that Gustavo Cabral had called him a “blacks ***”. These allegations were refused by the Pachuca player, but the FIFA protocol on these matters was activated. An investigation has been started and now it has been reported by COPE (via Sport), which is investigated Cabral by the administrative body of world football.
The FIFA is determined to perform the bottom of things, and therefore their research has progressed in the last 24 hours. It is not excluded that witnesses, such as those involved in the competition for both parties, will be called to testify. But for now no final decision has been made.
Real Madrid is behind Rudiger in this matter, which they heartily believe. And it is not the first time they have done this with one of their players, with Superstar Winger Vinicius Junior subjecting racist abuse several times in recent years.
It is not clear when a resolution will come, determined with FIFA to ensure that everything is investigated before they make their decision. It is unlikely that it will happen in the coming days, and there is no reason for something that is hurried, since Pachuca has already been beaten out of the club's world cup, so any punishment that comes the way of Cabral would have no effect on the current tournament.
For the time being, the investigation that FIFA is going on is and will stay so until a definitive result has been achieved.
