The players were not identified by the police. But, local media reports based on video images of the match reported racist slurs being hurled from the stands of the Santiago Bernabeu at Barcelona forwards Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.

Real Madrid was quick to denounce the incident and said it would help find the perpetrators. Spanish soccer has been struggling to stamp out racist slurs against players, especially Madrid's Vinícius Júnior. (AP)
