During one particular clash, Yamal and his Barcelona teammates were subjected to vitriolic abuse from sections of the home crowd. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Yamal specifically addressed a viral moment involving his teammate Raphinha, who was also targeted by fans during a match in the Spanish capital. Reflecting on that specific afternoon, the 17-year-old said: &#8220;For example, that video that came out from the Bernab\u00e9u, where my whole family defended Raphinha. People were surprised by my reaction. In the end, I think someone calling me &#8216;black&#8217; isn\u2019t going to bother me at all. I mean, I\u2019m Black, I\u2019m not some other color. It\u2019s different when someone says it specifically to offend me, of course.
