Barcelona secured a sensational El Clasico victory on Saturday night, although the match itself has been overshadowed by more shameful cases of racist abuse. Lamine Yamal is reported to have been subjected to it at the Santiago Bernabeu, but he wasn’t the only one.
As per Relevo, it has been alleged that Raphinha, Alejandro Balde and Ansu Fati were also targeted by racist abuse. La Liga will report to the matter to the Hate Section of the Information Brigade of the National Police, while Real Madrid have also announced that they have opened an investigation as they seek to punish those responsible.
