Real Madrid fans to be handed increased fines for racial abuse of Lamine Yamal and Barcelona players

Despite criticism over the amount of time it has taken authorities to identify and act on the perpetrators, it appears sanctions are on the way for the Real Madrid fans who racially abused Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Ansu Fati and Alejandro Balde abused during the action. El Clasico.

Authorities have now identified a “number of fans,” Relevo says, and plan to hand out sanctions. Normally these fines would include a fine of €4,000 and a stadium ban for one year. That fine will be increased to €5,000 for two fans who directly abused Lamine Yamal because he is still a child.

Real Madrid have been working with authorities to identify the perpetrators and have expelled two members, but no further action has been taken against the members so far – they are expected to do so. Barcelona's players had the last laugh that evening, securing a 4-0 victory.
