Wanchope fights the fansAfter being racially abused while he was warming down after a league match on Saturday, Malaga striker Paulo Wanchope says he was involved in a scuffle with the club's fans.
The Costa Rica international said he was attacked when he went to confront the fans who had used a megaphone to shout abuse at him following his side's 2-1 defeat at home to Real Betis.
Wanchope said on his website: 'It all started because one of the fans started to shout insults at me through the megaphone,
'I ran out of patience and went to the stands to confront him saying that if he was such a man he should say it to my face...
'He then kicked me and I defended myself by hitting him back. Then another fan came along and hit me from behind and I responded to that too.
'The police and my team mates eventually calmed everything down, but then a small group from the same band started to make monkey noises and shout out that I was a black shit, insults that really hurt me because they were racist.'
