Real Madrid condemn racist insults at the Clasico

Barcelona crushed rivals Real Madrid 4-0 on Saturday, inflicting the Spanish champions' first La Liga defeat in over a year. A result that brought out the worst in some people who use football to vent their frustrations.

As seen in a multitude of videos on social media, some fans uttered racist insults against the Barcelona players.

Earlier on Sunday, Los Blancos issued a statement in which they strongly condemned what had happened and promised action to find those responsible for the insults in the stands of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

"Real Madrid strongly condemn any kind of behaviour involving racism, xenophobia or violence in football and sport, and deeply regrets the insults that a few fans uttered last night in one of the corners of the stadium," they wrote on their website.

"We have opened an investigation to locate and identify the perpetrators of these deplorable and despicable insults so that the appropriate disciplinary and judicial measures can be taken," they concluded.
