Italien Bärenstark! Deutsche Männer wieder mit Schaum vorm Mund, also alles richtig gemacht.

Spielen bei Italien Deutsche Männer mit? Sogenannte Deutschitaliener?

Nein, in Italien als auch Spanien spielen fast ausschließlich Bio-Landesbürger, oder welche die ihren Landleuten optisch zumindest ähnlich sehen mit.

Farbige Spieler sind dort die absolute Ausnahme.

either Spain nor Italy acquired a significant migrant community from their global empires. Indeed, both were countries of emigration until very recently. Brazilians with Italian or Spanish roots have been easily assimilated – such as Spain’s Thiago Alcântara or Italy’s Jorginho – but players of colour from their new migrant communities have been rare, often poorly received, and operating in football cultures that remain, like the country at large, in denial about their deep racism.

When Mario Balotelli, Italy’s first black football star, played for the national team, fans would often sing, “There is no such thing as a black Italian”, and he would be subject to abuse by crowds allowed at Italian team training camps.
