FC Barcelona demonstrated its power in the most anticipated match of the season, El Clásico, defeating Real Madrid with a resounding 0-4 at the Santiago Bernabéu this Saturday.
With this victory, the Catalan team not only strengthens its leadership in LaLiga, but also reaffirms its intention to compete for all the titles after a last season without trophies.
This victory represents the third consecutive victory for the team led by Hansi Flick, who has shown great levels in recent weeks.
After crushing Sevilla (5-1) in LaLiga and beating Bayern Munich (4-1) in the Champions League, the Catalans managed to get past the current LaLiga champion in their own stadium.
Real Madrid, who came into the game with confidence after an epic comeback in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund (5-2), found no response to the display of play by the culés, who dominated especially in the second half.
The goals of the Spanish Classic
The first goal came after 54 minutes of play, when Polish striker Robert Lewandowski opened the scoring after a precise assist from Marc Casadó. Just two minutes later, Lewandowski scored again, consolidating the advantage for Barcelona and leaving the merengue team with no chance of coming back.
The culé party continued in the 77th minute, when the 17-year-old young talent, Lamine Yamal, scored the third goal after an outstanding play. Finally, Raphinha sealed the victory in the 84th minute, adding the fourth goal and ensuring Real Madrid’s first defeat in LaLiga this season.
Racist insults towards Lamine Yamal in El Clásico
However, the victory was marred by an incident of racism against Lamine Yamal, who was the target of racist insults from a fan in the stands of the Santiago Bernabéu.
While celebrating his goal, in videos that have circulated on social networks, expressions such as “Fucking black”, “Fucking moro” and “Go to the traffic light to sell scarves” were heard, directed at the young forward. This racist behavior has generated great indignation in the sports community and has put Spanish football regulatory bodies on alert.
These types of incidents are not new in Spanish football; In May 2023, Real Madrid’s Brazilian player Vinicius Jr. was the victim of racist insults at the Mestalla stadium, resulting in a sanction against Valencia CF and the expulsion of several fans.
Now the same forcefulness is expected when it comes to a player who does not belong to the white club.
🚨XENOPHOB ALERT IN SANTIAGO BERNABÉU🚨
Real Madrid fans shout “sell handkerchiefs at traffic lights” and “MENA de mierd*” at Lamine Yamal.
Until when will xenophobic and racist insults be allowed to be made with impunity at the Bernabéu?
