Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal Faces Racist Abuse During El Clásico Victory at Real Madrid
Sunday 27 October 2024, by
The Moroccan-origin striker of Barça, Lamine Yamal, was the victim of racist insults from Madrid supporters at Bernabéu on Saturday during the classic won brilliantly by the Blaugrana (4-0).
Racist insults were directed at Lamine Yamal as he celebrated his goal, the third of the match, with his teammate Balde in front of the Madrid supporters. In videos of the scene shared on social media, you can clearly and repeatedly hear insults like "fucking n****r" directed at the 17-year-old player, reports Relevo.
In another video where the sound lacks clarity, a Madrid supporter can be seen shouting something like "fucking Moor." In recent months, Madrid supporters have been involved in several racism cases in La Liga. Last season, Vinicius Jr, the Brazilian striker of Real Madrid, was more than once the victim of racist insults from the club’s supporters.
