Lamine Yamal has been pelted with abuse on social media, many of which were racist, in the aftermath of Barcelona's exit from the Copa Del Rey on Wednesday.
Yamal has been receiving those insults on his Instagram page in the comments section of some of his recent posts. It follows a couple of missed chances by the youngster during the game between Barca and Athletic Bilbao. The Blaugrana eventually lost the game 4-2 after extra time.
Some comments labelled the teenager "a monkey" while others called him "a N*gger".
We cannot say the fans abusing Yamal here are Barcelona supporters. Cules absolutely adore the 16-year-old and have been encouraging him since the game.
Meanwhile, Yamal was quick to apologize for his missed chances in the game, stating he will work harder to improve.
It must be noted that even the legendary Lionel Messi was not starting games for Barca at the age of 16. It's beyond disgusting to put such pressure and rain abuse on such a young young child.
