James Nnaji: Barcelona react as Real Madrid fans racially abuse Nigerian star

See what Barcelona has to say about Real Madrid fans' racist abuse of James Nnaji. The Barcelona basketball team has condemned racial comments made at Nigerian player James Nnaji during their Spanish championship victory over archrival Real Madrid. Many Madrid fans reportedly hurled insults at Barcelona players as they arrived at the WiZink facility in Madrid, the venue of Tuesday's Liga Endesa final, including racist statements directed at Nnaji. The incident on Tuesday comes as Spanish sports are dealing with considerable outrage over bigotry thrown towards Vinicius Jr., a Brazilian footballer for Real Madrid. In May, a 22-year-old Brazilian striker who had lived in Spain for five years denounced the racial abuse he had experienced there.
