Three people arrested for uttering racist remarks towards Barcelona players during El Clasico

Four weeks ago, Barcelona humiliated Real Madrid in their own backyard, winning 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu. However, the match was overshadowed by instances of racist abuse, with which Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Ansu Fati were targeted.

Real Madrid are yet to be sanctioned on the matter by the Anti-Violence Commission, but in the meantime, the relevant authorities have moved to punish the individuals responsible for the abhorrent abuse.

As reported by El Partidazo de COPE, the National Police have now arrested three individuals that are believed to have uttered the remarks towards Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Fati – specifically, they are noted as having “made xenophobic and racist statements, as well as monkey gestures”.
