MADRID (AP) The Spanish league has denounced anti-gay slurs directed toward Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo during Saturday's match at Barcelona.
The league says in a statement that it will send a report to the Spanish government's committee against violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sport.
The league specifically refers to anti-gay slurs against Ronaldo and insulting chants against Real Madrid heard during a moment of silence for Dutch great John Cruyff before kickoff on Saturday.
Gay rights groups in Spain have also denounced the slurs.
Ronaldo scored the winning goal in Madrid's 2-1 victory.
