In the clash between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, Ansu Fati becomes the youngest El Clasico goalscorer in the history of the edition. The 17-year-old scored the equalizer and ties La Liga's record for most goals ever scored by a player under 18 years old.

It was Lionel Messi who found Jordi Alba with a beautiful lob pass, and Alba passed it to Ansu Fati who did a tap-in for an instant reply.

Earlier, during Barca's 5-1 win in the Champions League against Ferencvaros on Tuesday, the teenage star was the subjected to racist remarks from ABC, a Spanish newspaper outlet. 

"Ansu was close to scoring with a kick of a pure striker, perfectly turning his body. Ansu when running has something similar to a gazelle, he looks like a young and black street seller, the one you could see running in the Paseo de Gracia shouting "water, water" when the policemen arrive," the report read.

"Postcards of a jungle in the heart of the city. Now it doesn't happen anymore because of Ada Colau [Mayor of Barcelona], the delinquents are the policemen and not the street sellers, who don't need to run away quickly anymore. It is true that without tourists, their business goes down." 

The shocking remarks were seen by Antoine Griezmann, who was quick to shame the outlet on social media.

"Ansu is an exceptional boy who deserves respect just like all other human beings," Griezmann posted on Twitter. "No to racism and no to bad manners."
