Morata and Rodri chant ‘Gibraltar is Spanish’ on stageGovernment calls remarks ‘rancid’ and FA to involve Uefa
The Gibraltar government has criticised the “rancid remarks” that members of Spain’s Euro 2024-winning side made at a victory rally in central Madrid on Monday night, and the territory’s football association is to make a formal complaint to Uefa over the matter.
The controversy, which follows Spain’s 2-1 victory over England in Sunday’s final, erupted after Spain’s captain, Álvaro Morata, and the midfielder Rodri chanted, “Gibraltar es español” (“Gibraltar is Spanish”), while on stage in front of a massive crowd in the Spanish capital’s plaza de Cibeles.
