Atletico fans chant Islamophobic slurs ahead of Barcelona clash

A small group of Atletico Madrid fans were caught mimicking Islamophobic chants ahead of their Champions League tie against Barcelona at Camp Nou.

The chants, previously heard during Spain's friendly with Egypt and outside the Bernabeu, were repeated by a minority of traveling supporters.

This follows disturbing instances of racism, including abuse against 18-year-old Lamine Yamal at the Metropolitano, with FIFA opening an investigation into the earlier incidents.
