Three arrested in Spain for racist abuse at Liga Clasico football match

Three football fans have been arrested in Spain over the racist abuse of two Barcelona players during last month's Clasico against Real Madrid, Spanish police said Saturday.

The two adults and a minor are accused of having "made xenophobic statements that harmed the dignity and moral integrity of the two footballers" during the match which Barcelona won 4-0 in Madrid, police said. The trio were identified using mobile phone and television footage. Spanish football is struggling to combat racism in stadiums across the country.
