On January 10th 2009, members of Rosario Central of Catalonia – a third division soccer team entirely comprised of immigrants – were brutally attacked during a soccer game in Barcelona, Spain. The aggressors were all Spanish citizens and members of the opposite team. Seven of them were eventually arrested and charged with attempted murder. In a phone conversation with Elena Marugan, the lawyer of two of the men that had been arrested, she said that the incident had been just a fight between two teams and that Rosario Central and the media were taking the matter out of proportion. But for the victims, the attack reflects the reality of day-to-day life in Spain, where attacks against immigrants and ethnic minorities have become increasingly common.
