Real Madrid have opened an investigation into allegations of racist abuse targeting Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal during Saturday’s Clasico at the Bernabeu.

Videos on social media appear to show the 17-year-old Spaniard being taunted by some of the home fans as he celebrated his 77th-minute goal by pointing to his name on the back of his jersey.

Robert Lewandowski scored twice and Raphinha completed the scoring as the visitors won 4-0 to move them six points above their rivals at the top of La Liga.

A Real Madrid statement read: “Real Madrid strongly condemns any type of behavior involving racism, xenophobia or violence in football and sport, and deeply regrets the insults that some supporters made last night in the one of the corners of the stadium.

“Real Madrid has opened an investigation in order to locate and identify the perpetrators of these deplorable and despicable insults so that appropriate disciplinary and legal measures can be taken.”
