The journalist for the highly conservative Spanish newspaper "ABC" (a kind ultra nationalistic/conservative version of the Daily Telegraph) describes thus Ansu Fati in the Ferenvacos game:


"Spanish newspaper ABC has issued an apology to Barcelona forward Ansu Fati after their match report compared his pace to that of a “black street seller” fleeing the police.

The 17-year-old put in an impressive display in Barcelona’s 5-1 victory over Ferencvaros on Tuesday night in the Champions League, scoring their second goal. However, the aftermath of the victory was soured by the paper’s description of the Guinea-Bissau-born Spain international.

ABC’s report said: “Ansu in full flight has something of a gazelle about him, of a very young, black street seller that you suddenly see running along Paseo de Gracia] when someone shouting ‘water, water’ [to warn other street sellers] announced that the local police have arrived."

The journo, Salvador Sostres, is a well-known anti-catalan, pro-"Spanish" writer.
 
The Spanish seem worse than the Italians at the casual racism. At least with Italy they seem to be trying to change.
