A viral social media claim that US President Donald Trump was edited out of a photo posted by the Spanish Football Federation is false. DW's fact-check confirmed the image was only slightly cropped, not altered, with Trump visible in other perspectives of the same moment.
Real Zaragoza goalkeeper Esteban Andrada has been banned for 13 matches by the Spanish football federation after punching Huesca player Jorge Pulido in the face during a second-tier derby. The 35-year-old former Argentina international received a 12-match ban for the punch plus an automatic one-match ban for his red card. He apologised, saying: "The truth is I'm very, very sorry for what happened. It's not a good image for the club, for the fans, and especially not for a professional like myself."
Alongside the FIFA investigation, the Catalonia police force has opened its own probe, which is being handled by the Prosecutor's Office for Hate Crimes and Discrimination.
