Racist Chants Mar Spain’s Euro Victory Celebration, Target Young Star Lamine Yamal

While the vast majority of the fans and supporters present were chanting "Lamine Yamal, I love you more every day", launched by Álvaro Morata, captain of the Roja, others preferred to chant racist chants against the young player of Moroccan and Equatorial Guinean origin.

In a video circulated on social media, a group of people on the Plaza Cibeles in Madrid, with Spanish flags around their necks, can be seen chanting: "Lamine Yamal eats ham", reports Público.

The publication on social media of photos of a young woman accompanying the Barcelona prodigy during the celebration, identified by some media as his girlfriend, also provoked racist and sexist comments from Internet users.

During the same celebration of their Euro victory, the Spanish players sang hostile chants against Morocco, declaring that "Gibraltar is Spanish, and Morocco too". Comments described as "repugnant" by some British media such as the Daily Mail.
