According to AS, some Real Madrid ultras sang racist and antisemitic slogans and burned Moroccan flags before the match.

Before Real Madrid's first Champions League match against Inter Milan, some Real Madrid ultras gathered near the Santiago Bernabéu stadium and chanted racist and antisemitic slogans. Videos circulating on social media on Wednesday showed them chanting in unison: "I beat Jews, Spain is a Christian country, not a Muslim country." They also burned Moroccan flags and posters of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

These extreme actions occurred as Spain and Morocco, along with Portugal, prepare to co-host the 2030 World Cup, though the location of the World Cup final remains uncertain. A week earlier, some far-right individuals had torn down the Moroccan flag in front of the Spanish Congress.

Inside the Bernabéu stadium, protests continued. AS reported that fans chanted "Ceuta is not for sale, Ceuta must be defended" and displayed banners reading "We are all with Ceuta" in solidarity with the Spanish enclave, which has faced an unprecedented immigration crisis since late July. Pedro Sánchez is widely criticized in Spain and is often seen as the primary figure responsible for this crisis.

More than a decade ago, Real Madrid banned the Ultras Sur organization from the Bernabéu stadium due to its history of violence, racism, and use of neo-Nazi symbols. For years, Spanish football has been plagued by explicit racism from some individuals, spreading even to the stands. This year, during a friendly match between Spain and Egypt at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona, chants of "whoever doesn't jump is Muslim" were heard from the stands. Real Madrid has yet to respond to the incidents that occurred before Tuesday's match between Real Madrid and Inter Milan.
