Jaime Fernández was trying to get to the El Clásico with his wife and two children, aged 7 and 3, last weekend at the Montjuic.
The boy had gotten a Real Madrid scarf from a Dazn stand. Fernández states that the son is not a huge football fan, but chose the scarf because he liked the white colour.
When the family approached the stadium doors, a group of 20-25 people, about 30 years old, surrounded the family and started to insult the boy.
The insults were the following: “pig, dog, son of a bitch, take that off, we’re going to burn it…” (this was translated by Google so the insults may not be 100% accurate).
Fernández’s wife tried to tell the group that the child had autism, but it didn’t help. After that, one of the men took a firecracker and threw it at the child’s feet.
The parents threw the firecracker away and after it had exploded, the family ran away. Explosions and loud noises can do a lot of harm to autistic children.
The family has contacted LaLiga and the cameras at Montjuic will be examined.
