Real Madrid has initiated an investigation into allegations of racist insults aimed at Barcelona players during their recent 4-0 defeat at home in La Liga. The club expressed deep regret over the "insults of a few fans" following the match. Reports from Spanish media indicate that Lamine Yamal, a 17-year-old forward for Barcelona with Equatorial Guinean and Moroccan roots, was subjected to xenophobic and racist abuse at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Barcelona has not yet provided a response to these claims.

Four individuals have been arrested in Spain for allegedly orchestrating an online hate campaign targeting Vinícius Júnior, the Real Madrid forward. The arrests were made following an investigation into social media activity that emerged prior to the Madrid derby between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid. Authorities reported that the suspects, all in their 20s, were detained after police examined posts that had garnered over 1.5 billion views. These posts encouraged Atlético fans to wear masks during the match, allowing them to insult Vinícius without revealing their identities. La Liga has expressed its support for the arrests, emphasizing the ongoing fight against hate in football.
