Barcelona's Ansu Fati scores his side's second goal during their Champions League group G match against Ferencvaros. Barcelona player Ansu Fati received an apology in a Spanish newspaper on Thursday for being profiled racially by one of its journalists. ABC journalist Salvador Sostres wrote of Barcelona’s win over Ferencvaros on Wednesday (NZ time) that “Ansu when running has something of a gazelle, or a very young, black street vendor running” away from police.
