It was an thrilling encounter on Saturday night between Real Madrid and Barcelona, albeit with a difficult last half hour for Madridistas, with some brilliant football on show. However El Clasico was soured somewhat by racial abuse towards Lamine Yamal, as well as Alejandro Balde, Raphinha and Ansu Fati.
The most obvious flashpoint was when Lamine Yamal celebrated his goal and Barcelona’s third in front of the corner at the Bernabeu, where shouts of ‘f***ing moor’, ‘black s***’, ‘m*****’ and ‘go sell tissues at the traffic lights’. Now Movistar+ have published footage of two of the culprits, where they can clearly be seen abusing the 17-year-old.

Real Madrid, La Liga and even Vinicius Junior have all condemned the incident strongly, and are working with police to identify all of those who committed such vile acts. Previously, a Mallorca fan saw a 12-month sentence given to them for carrying a racist banner targeting Vinicius, and you would expect similar to follow for these people.
