LaLiga's message for the insults to Lamine Yamal at the Santiago Bernabéu

Through a statement, the organization stated that "with this action, LaLiga reiterates its firm commitment to the fight against racism and any manifestation of hatred in football".

The sanction, however, has taken quite a while to be confirmed due to legal and bureaucratic issues. In total, 227 days ed since the match held at the Santiago Bernabéu.

It was on Saturday, October 26, 2024, when Lamine scored his first official goal in Clásicos (they had already stolen one from him in April of last year), a goal that meant the partial 0-3 for a Barça that ended up winning that match by 0-4.

LaLiga will sanction two other Madrid fans for insults against Lamine and Raphinha

In addition, the organization must still confirm the punishment that the two adults who accompanied the minor in the stands of the Bernabéu will suffer. In this case, the punishment will be harsher as they are adult fans.

Among the insults collected by the report sent to the Prosecutor's Office by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) are 'Son of a bitch, you are a son of a bitch', 'Shitty kid, you are all shitty kids', or "fucking black", insults that were also directed towards Raphinha.
