Real striker accuses Spurs fans

Emmanuel Adebayor says he was subjected to racism from Tottenham fans during Real Madrid's 4-0 win on Tuesday. The former Arsenal striker scored twice for Real as they took control of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash. And Adebayor, on loan from Manchester City, claims he was the subject of racist taunts at the Bernabeu. "We have done everything we can showing the red card to racism. But people are still into it," he is quoted by the Daily Mirror. "It seems that's part of life. Racism is always there. Samuel Eto'o and big players have spoken about it better than I do, but it's not stopped them. "Maybe we can't do anything to stop it."
