Lamine Yamal Alleges Racial Abuse: Real Madrid Launches Inquiry
Real Madrid has launched an investigation to identify a fan who allegedly directed racial abuse at Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal during El Clásico.
The 17-year-old player, of Moroccan descent, was subjected to slurs while celebrating a goal and again while preparing for a corner kick.
This investigation follows video evidence shared widely on social media showing fans making racist remarks aimed at Yamal.
Both Real Madrid and La Liga issued statements condemning the behavior, with Madrid emphasizing their zero-tolerance stance on racism and their commitment to taking appropriate disciplinary action against those involved.
This incident adds to a troubling pattern of racism in Spanish football, which has seen repeated similar abuses toward players like Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr. in recent seasons.
La Liga and various clubs have consistently pledged to cooperate in investigations and enforce penalties to address the ongoing issue.
