Spanish football superstar Lamine Yamal, who is Muslim, on Wednesday slammed “intolerable” chants during a friendly against Egypt in Barcelona that police are investigating for Islamophobia and xenophobia.
The chanting “was aimed at the opposing team and was not something personal against me, but as a Muslim it is still a lack of respect and something intolerable,” Lamal wrote on Instagram.
“To those who sing these things: using a religion as a form of mockery on a pitch shows you up as ignorant and racist.”
