Barcelona triumphed 4-0 thanks to goals from Yamal, Raphinha and a brace from Robert Lewandowski.

In another video recorded in a similar location towards the of the game as Yamal prepared to take a corner, towards the end of the contest, fans continued to abuse him with cries of ‘go and sell tissues at traffic lights’ and even “f**king Mena’ a term used to describe young immigrants.
Both LaLiga and Real Madrid issued statements on Sunday morning condemning the incidents.
“Real Madrid strongly condemns any kind of behaviour involving racism, xenophobia or violence in football and sport, and deeply regrets the insults that a few fans uttered last night in one of the corners of the stadium,” the La Liga champions wrote.
