On Feb. 6, a key match came to an end on the road at Sevilla, with Rayo Vallecano going down 1-2 to their rivals. In this fierce duel, Ocampos encountered the bad behavior of extreme fans in the moment of the sideline ball, and after the game, he publicly spoke out on social media to strongly condemn this bad behavior.
It was all captured on camera," said an emotional Ocampos. I wish La Liga would give this type of incident the same importance as racist incidents. I don't think everyone does it, but there are always a few crazy people. I pray that similar situations don't happen elsewhere.
"If a similar incident had happened to the women's soccer team, we would have foreseen the consequences long ago. I delayed taking a stand because I have two daughters and I was afraid that such a tragedy would happen to them. I don't know who the provocateur was and I wanted to beat him up. I have two daughters and I don't want them to tell their classmates at school that their dad used to hit people."
Nonetheless, Ocampos apologized to the vast majority of Rayo Vallecano's fans, arguing that individual acts of extremism are not representative of all fans: "I think we should fight back against this kind of stupidity, but never let an ignorant guy hurt innocent fans."
