Real Madrid have promised to take legal action against anyone found to have attacked its players' cars after Gareth Bale was targeted following the weekend defeat by Barcelona.
Spanish TV footage captured on Sunday night appeared to show fans kicking the white Bentley owned by Bale and the car of his team-mate Jese Rodriguez outside Real Madrid's training ground following the 2-1 defeat to Barcelona.
"Real Madrid will take any applicable legal action against the individuals responsible," a club statement read.
The club has already suspended one of its members while it conducts at investigation into the incident.
The individual faces a stadium ban if found guilty of the club's disciplinary investigation, but that might only be the start of the action taken against him.
"Details of this member's identity have been sent to the Club's Discipline Commission, requesting that it expel the individual from Real Madrid for what is considered a very serious offence," the statement added.
Bale has faced constant criticism this season despite having a huge impact in his first year in Spain, which included him scoring a decisive goal against rivals Atletico Madrid to win Real Madrid their tenth Champions League trophy, to end their long-awaited hunt for 'la Decima'.
