However, in Saturday's game against Atlético Madrid, the young Barcelona star experienced yet another similar attack.

As the Barcelona footballer prepared to take a corner kick, several fans in that section of the stadium verbally assaulted him: "You're very ugly, go to Morocco." These, along with other abusive comments, are clearly audible in the circulated video.

Lately, such insults and racist attacks against players on football pitches have become a frequent occurrence. In this particular video, the perpetrators of the chants have not been identified. Despite clubs' efforts to eradicate these behaviors from stadiums, unfortunately, a few individuals continue to tarnish the image of Spanish football in this manner.
