Former defender of Real Madrid, Anzhi Makhachkala, and the Brazilian national team, Roberto Carlos, has shared his thoughts on racism in football. His comments were reported by AS.
Racism? I've faced worse situations than what today's players are facing, but I still believe that the sooner we get rid of all these issues both on and off the field, the better. Football is a show. You have to have fun and enjoy yourself.

During his time at Real Madrid, Roberto Carlos won the La Liga title four times, lifted the Champions League trophy three times, and secured the Supercup. He was also part of the Brazilian national team that won the World Cup in 2002.
