Barcelona fans have insulted Real Madrid, Vinicius Jr, and even their former player Ousmane Dembele ahead of their Copa del Rey clash with Atletico Madrid.

Barca host Atletico in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals.

Three hours before the game, Barcelona supporters gathered at the stadium and chanted “Madridistas – sons of bitches!”, “Vinicius, what a fool you are!” and “### PSG and ### Dembele”.

This kind of behavior from Barcelona fans reflects the heated rivalry between Barça and Real Madrid, but targeting individuals like Vinícius Jr. and Ousmane Dembélé with insults crosses the line into unsportsmanlike conduct. Vinícius has been frequently subjected to abuse in Spanish stadiums, particularly racial insults, which has sparked major discussions about racism in football.

As for Dembélé, his move to PSG from Barcelona in the summer likely left some fans feeling betrayed, leading to their chants against him. The animosity between Barça and PSG has also grown in recent years, with multiple transfer sagas and heated encounters in the Champions League fueling tensions.

Tonight’s Copa del Rey semifinal against Atletico Madrid is crucial for Barcelona, as the competition remains one of their best chances to win silverware this season. However, such chants overshadow the football itself and could lead to disciplinary action from the Spanish football authorities.

Do you think La Liga or the Spanish FA should take stricter actions against these kinds of fan behaviours?
