Rayo Vallecano fan banned and fined for Ocampos incident

The young Rayo Vallecano fan who touched Lucas Ocampos' backside has been fined and banned.

The fan was pictured making the vulgar action in Sevilla's game at Rayo a fortnight ago.

The minor has now been fined €6,000 and banned a year from all Spanish sports venues for his actions, says Marca.

After the game, Ocampos said: "I hope LaLiga takes it seriously, like the issue of racism. I don't think all the people at Rayo are like that, they always treat us with respect, but there is always a fool. I hope it doesn't happen in other areas, because if it happens in the women's football we know what can happen.

"I held back because I have two daughters and I hope that tomorrow doesn't happen to them, so let's hope that they take whatever retaliation they have to take and let a fool not stain the fans, who behaved very well."
