Barcelona and their supporters face punishment after reports on Tuesday that repeated chants against Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo during Sunday’s 5-0 win over Levante at Camp Nou.
According to a report compiled by the LFP, supporters in the south stand at the Camp Nou repeatedly chanted ‘He is a drunk, Cristiano is a drunk’ during the win over lowly Levante.
The chants come following Ronaldo’s controversial decision to celebrate his birthday with a party on the same day that Madrid lost 4-0 to Atletico Madrid two weekends back.
“A group of approximately 200 people identified with scarves, banners and flags from supporters’ groups of the local club and in particular, the group known as ALMOGAVERS, located behind the banner identifying that group, started singing the following song: “He is a drunk, Cristiano is a drunk!,” the LFP revealed in a statement on their website.
The details of the report, which also cites more abusive chants in games featuring Sevilla and Real Betis, have been passed on to Spain’s anti-violence and competition committees.
