Unacceptable incidents just keep piling up in Spain. Lamine Yamal was targeted yesterday during the Atlético Madrid vs Barça clash (1-2).

Last night, as FC Barcelona clinched a 2-1 victory over Atlético Madrid, Lamine Yamal was subjected to a disgusting remark. As the Barça star prepared to take a corner, a home supporter hurled abuse at the Spanish prodigy: "You're ugly, go play for Morocco."

An incident that is bound to spark reactions, but above all, highlights the plague currently afflicting world football: racism.
