'Spanish Supernova'17-year-old Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) was also beaten.
The British newspaper BBC reported on the 27th (Korea time) that Real Madrid has launched an investigation into allegations of racist abuse targeting Barcelona teenager Yamal in the `El Clasico.'
The video released on social media showed some angry Real Madrid fans hurling racist abuse when Yamal pointed to his name on the back of his uniform after scoring a goal in the 32nd minute of the second half. "Real Madrid strongly condemns any kind of behaviour involving racism, xenophobia or violence in football and sport, and is deeply sorry for the insulting comments made by some fans in a corner of the stadium last night," Real Madrid said in a statement.
And emphasized that "Real Madrid has launched an investigation to identify and identify those who committed these vile and ugly insults, which will result in appropriate disciplinary and judicial action."
Barcelona won 4-0 in the 11th round of the Spanish Primera Liga in the 2024-2025 season against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain. There was no presence of Kylian Mbappe, who was ambitiously recruited by Real Madrid. It was a complete victory for Yamal.

Barcelona took a 2-0 lead in the 9th and 11th minutes of the second half on Roberto Lewandowski's back-to-back goals. Yamal sealed it in the 32nd minute of the second half. He calmly finished Hafinha's pass. Yamal, who scored at the age of 17 years and 105 days, broke the record of Ansu Fati (18 years and 359 days) set in October 2020 and set the record of being the youngest to score 'El Clasico'. Barcelona secured a complete victory in the 39th minute by tying up Hafinha's goal.
It was Yamal's fourth 'El Clasico'. He was replaced in October last year and experienced his first 'El Clasico'. At 16 years and 195 days, he was named the youngest player to play 'El Clasico'. Mbappe shook the net twice on the day, but both were canceled offside and lost face.
Barcelona maintained its lead with 10 wins and 1 loss and 30 points. It widened the gap with second-place Real Madrid (24 points, 7 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss), which suffered its first loss of the season, to 6 points.
Meanwhile, the Spanish Football Association and La Liga are responding hard to prevent the increase in racist violence through measures such as closing some stadiums. Four people have recently been arrested for conducting an online campaign promoting hatred and racism against Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior.
