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

Despite criticism over the delayed response, it appears sanctions are imminent for the Real Madrid fans who racially abused Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Ansu Fati, and Alejandro Balde during El Clasico.

Authorities have reportedly identified a number of individuals involved, and sanctions are set to follow. Typically, these would involve a €4,000 fine and a one-year stadium ban. However, the two fans who specifically targeted Lamine Yamal, given his status as a minor, will face an increased fine of €5,000.

Real Madrid has cooperated with the investigation and has expelled two members, though further actions are expected. Meanwhile, Barcelona players had the last laugh, securing a 4-0 victory on the night.
