Real Madrid CF: On the night Lamine Yamal became the youngest player to ever score in an El Clasico, videos of the Spaniard being the subject of racist abuse started flooding social media. Real Madrid, who have always been strongly opposed to racism in the past, acknowledged the incident and have opened an investigation to identify the perpetrators.
“Real Madrid strongly condemns any kind of behaviour involving racism, xenophobia or violence in football and sport, and deeply regrets the insults that a few fans uttered last night in one of the corners of the stadium.
“Real Madrid has opened an investigation in order to locate and identify the perpetrators of these deplorable and despicable insults so that the appropriate disciplinary and judicial measures can be taken,” read the statement by Real Madrid on their website.
