Three arrested for insulting Lamine Yamal at the Santiago Bernabéu

Lamine Yamal, Ansu Fati and Raphinha were victims of a regrettable and embarrassing incident at the Clásico on October 26. The FC Barcelona players were subjected to racist insults by a section of Real Madrid fans, who dedicated degrading and disgusting insults to them such as "fucking black" or "fucking mena, go sell handkerchiefs at a traffic light."

The behavior of the white fans was recorded by the cell phones of other attendees and collected by the television operator itself with the broadcasting rights. These images had an enormous public impact and both LaLiga and the Madrid club filed their complaints for hate crimes and opened an investigation to adopt "disciplinary and judicial measures."

The National Police announced the arrest of three fans

Finally, a month after the match between the Catalans and the Merengues and after establishing a special location device, the National Police has confirmed the arrest of three men, one of them a minor, as alleged perpetrators of a crime against moral integrity.
