Real Madrid issued an official statement in response to fan misconduct following their recent 4-0 loss to Barcelona in El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu. During the game, Barcelona’s impressive performance, led by goals from Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha, ended Real Madrid's unbeaten streak in La Liga.
After the match, social media videos showed some fans allegedly using racist and xenophobic language toward 17-year-old Barcelona star Lamine Yamal, who scored the team’s third goal. In response, Real Madrid publicly condemned the behavior, stating, “Real Madrid strongly condemns any form of racism, xenophobia, or violence in football.” The club announced an investigation to identify those involved and promised to take disciplinary and legal measures against them.
Reflecting on the victory, Yamal expressed his satisfaction, remarking, “When people doubted us, we showed we could win against top teams.” He acknowledged the significance of winning El Clasico but emphasized staying focused as Barcelona prepares for their upcoming match against Espanyol. With this win, Barcelona extended their lead in the La Liga standings, moving six points ahead of Real Madrid.
