Raheem Sterling is again the target of racial attacks

Raheem Sterling was again a victim of racial harassment while strengthening the English national team. The culprit, a supporter, was kicked out of the stadium and arrested by police.
The incident occurred when England hosted Bulgaria to qualify for the 2022 European Cup on Saturday (07/09/2019). At that time, The Three Lions managed to tame the visitors with a score of 4-0.

In the first half of the match, one of the Bulgarian supporters got caught saying words about Sterling's racial attack. The action was seen by stadium security guards.

The supporters were then driven out of the stands and immediately secured. He was then taken to the North London Police Station before being released unconditionally.
The English Football Federation, Football Association (FA), issued a statement about this incident. By his spokesman, the Russian Federation does not tolerate racism.

Someone sitting at the visitors' booth was fired and arrested for discrimination during the England vs Bulgaria match. "The Wembley Stadium has a zero tolerance policy towards discrimination and antisocial treatment, and anyone who does so will be expelled and reported to the police," Standard said.

Sterling and several of his teammates, Danny Rose and Callum Hudson-Odoi, were subjected to attacks by supporters of the presenter's singing. Britain also reported racist incidents at the European Football Federation, UEFA.

This incident is not the first incident in Sterling. The Manchester City player was also a victim of racial aggression when England visited Montenegro in March.
Being a target of racial attack does not affect Sterling. The 24-year-old soccer player still seems to shine by scoring goals against Bulgaria and creating passes.
