Soccer game between French and Spanish influencers interrupted after apparent racist insult from fan

An amateur soccer match between teams of social media influencers from Spain and France was temporarily stopped when the French players walked off the field to protest an apparent racist insult from a fan.

The game was held at the stadium of Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital on Saturday.

Video from the incident showed players engaged in a heated exchange with a section of the stands near the field.

Spanish soccer has been plagued by incidents of racism, with Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior often the target of abuse.
