Real Madrid fans hurl racist abuse at Lamine Yamal during El Clásico

The 17-year-old Barça player was subject to a barrage of abuse as he celebrated his goal in the second half of El Clásico.

Spanish football suffered another depressing incident of racism when 17-year-old Lamine Yamal scored the third goal during El Clásico with his strike in the 77th minute putting Barcelona 0-3 ahead at the Santiago Bernabeu.

As the Barça player celebrated his goal with teammate Raphinha, a barrage of abuse was hurled from home supporters in the corner where the celebration took place. A series of videos on social media showcase Madrid fans shouting: “fucking black” and “fucking Moor” (Puto negro/moro) at the Blaugrana striker.

In another video recorded in a similar location towards the of the game as Yamal prepared to take a corner, towards the end of the contest, fans continued to abuse the teenager with cries of ‘go and sell tissues at traffic lights’ and even “fucking Mena’ a term used to describe young immigrants (Menores Extranjeros No Acompañados).

No statements as yet

As yet, nether club nor LaLiga have commented on the numerous videos showcasing another episode of racism at a Spanish stadium and as we’ve seen recently following incidents at Valencia’s Mestalla and Getafe’s Coliseum, Real Madrid could be in hot water due to the unacceptable behaviour of these individuals.
