Real Madrid’s epic Copa del Rey final win over Barcelona was marred by racist abuse from both sets of supporters aimed at Neymar, Dani Alves and Pepe.

As the Brazilian pair found themselves closer to the end populated by Real Madrid supporters, monkey chants intensified. Barcelona fans also abused Portuguese defender Pepe.

The abuse suffered by Neymar, Alves and Pepe did not make the referees reports whilst one commentator on Spanish radio dismissed the incidents as ‘four or five idiots giving everyone else a bad name’.

Real Madrid won the game at the Mestalla 2-1 thanks to Gareth Bale’s superb late winner.
