Atlas Lion Nayef Aguerd commented on the brawl between players after Morocco’s AFCON match against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, denouncing the escalation online and in the media.

“I unfortunately noticed that things have somewhat escalated on social media and even in some media,” the West Ham defender wrote in a statement shared on social media, stressing that altercations during matches are common.

Aguerd took to Regragui’s defense after the coach was accused of racism toward DRC captain Chancel Mbemba, prompting people to “take a step back” and remember that “it’s just football and nothing more.”

“No to hatred between countries, no to racism, and no to defamation,” Aguerd concluded.
