SPAIN star Lamine Yamal has spoken out about the “intolerable” Islamophobic chanting heard during his side’s friendly against Egypt on Tuesday night.

The Barcelona winger appeared visibly upset by the chanting at the Cornella-El Prat Stadium in his home city.

The Spanish football federation condemned the acts, while Catalan regional police said they were investigating.

Yamal posted on Instagram today, saying: “I am a Muslim. Yesterday at the stadium the chant ‘the one who doesn’t jump is a Muslim’ was heard.

“I know I was playing for the rival team and it wasn’t something personal against me, but as a Muslim person it doesn’t stop being disrespectful and something intolerable.

“I understand not all fans are like this, but to those who sing these things, using a religion as a mockery on the field makes you ignorant and racist.

“Football is to be enjoyed and encouraged, not to disrespect people for who they are or what they believe in.

“With that being said, thank you to the people who came to cheer us on, see you at the World Cup.”

The match was played under Fifa’s jurisdiction. World football’s governing body will await reports from officials in attendance before deciding whether to take further action.
