The Israeli striker did not play at all in October, but the opponent's crowd waved Palestinian flags and expressed sympathy with the massacre of October 7 • The Spanish federation will fine the host team only 18 thousand euros


In the middle of October, Shawn Weissman's team, Granada, went to an away match against Osasuna, whose fans made it clear in advance that they were not ready for the Israeli striker to come to the field.

Following Weissman's harsh statements against Hamas and Gaza, they threatened that if he did show up, they would give him a terrifying reception.

Weissmann stayed home, but that didn't stop the Osasuna fans.

What happened in that game in the stands was extremely ugly.

Osasuna's audience chanted: "Sean Weissman is dead", waved Palestinian flags, sympathized with the October 7 massacre and added other harsh chants such as "destroy Zionism".

Even before the game, the same fans published a picture of Weisman wearing a Star of David symbol inside a swastika on his shirt.

The Spanish Federation already promised after that match that they would prosecute Osasuna for the behavior of her fans, but they took their time.

It is not clear if it was a long investigation or if only recently pressure was applied to bring the team's fans from Pamplona to justice.
