What was mainly a joyous occasion for FC Barcelona was blemished by the ugly specter of racism when a portion of Real Madrid fans insulted Lamine Yamal using derogatory terms.
On videos posted to social media, one could hear fans screaming and directing racist insults toward him in a game Barcelona ultimately won 4-0.
To think that fans - many of whom are grown men - would resort to these tactics against an actual minor (Yamal is only 17 years old) is despicable.
Real Madrid has posted a statement saying they condemn the racist insults and that they would launch an investigation to find those responsible.
