Racism is rife on the football pitch. It is a war in which La Liga and all the teams are trying to fight to eradicate it, but it does not stop on practically any pitch. On Saturday it was the turn of the Santiago Bernabeu, where racist insults were hurled at Barcelona players.
Specifically, they were directed at Lamine Yamal, Alejandro Balde and Raphinha. They started shouting "f*cking Moor" and "f*cking nigg*r" when Barcelona were leading 3-0 on the scoreboard.
Likewise, when Raphinha scored and celebrated with Yamal, another fan said: "You son of a b*tch, you sons of b*tches".
Real Madrid star Vinicius has become a figurehead in the fight against racism. However, even in the most important match of the year, this scourge of society is still rampant in stadiums all over Spain.
