Lamine Yamal condemned anti-Muslim chants heard during Spain’s goalless draw with Egypt, calling them intolerable and racist. The incident has now triggered a formal police investigation in Catalonia. Reuters reported that police are investigating Islamophobic and xenophobic chants from the crowd, including abuse linked to Muslim identity. Yamal said the chants were not directed specifically at him, but stressed that mocking religion in a football stadium is unacceptable.
