Football fans attack Barcelona legend for posing with people in blackface (photo)

Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta has been slammed on social media by football fans after posting a photo of himself with some people in blackface.

The image Iniesta posted on his social media channel clearly shows two people in blackface as they attempted to dress up as a king that is traditionally black.

Iniesta was celebrating Feliz dias de Reyes which is a Christian tradition in Spain which commemorates the arrival of the three kings Balthazar, Melchior and Gaspar at the birth of Jesus.

But many football fans were livid with the post and some asked him to delete it as others also accused the Spaniard of casual racism.

The 34-year-old who currently plays for Japanese club Vissel Kobe is yet to say a word to peoples' reactions on the photo he posted.
