Even my brother (Iñaki Williams) stayed a while. little misplaced, he didn’t expect it either. He’s very happy for me, very proud.

“Luckily, I haven’t experienced it first-hand, but I have seen my brother a bit annoyed in that aspect. I think it’s football stuff and I hope that those people think and reflect on what they do and that this ends. No one is born racist. It’s a matter of education, both at home and at school,” Nico explained.
