Real Madrid supporters who
took part in abusive chants about Lionel Messi and Barcelona will be reported
to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), says La Liga president Javier Tebas.
Fans targeted arch-rivals
Barca, and singled out their star player Messi, in Saturday's home
win over Celta
Vigo.
"There
were insults and unacceptable chants at the Bernabeu, so I gave the order to
report them," said Tebas. Continue..
Spanish
media say Real have identified and banned 17 fans who sang abuse.
Referee
Alberto Mallenco did not mention the offensive chants in his match report on
Madrid's 3-0 victory, but Tebas has pledged to refer the incident to the RFEF's
competition committee.
Violent
and abusive supporters are being targeted by clubs, footballing authorities and
the Spanish government in response to the death of a
Deportivo La Coruna supporter after
violent clashes between rival fans before the match at Atletico Madrid last
month.
"Our
new commitment is that if the referee does not hear it, we will draw attention
to it," added Tebas.
"We
have taken this decision and we will continue down the same path."
