Ronaldo scored twice in Sunday's game which was marred by racist chants.

BARCELONA, Spain (Reuters) -- A group of Real Madrid fans has been reported to the Spanish Football Federation for racist chanting during their side's league match at Levante during the weekend.

Referee David Fernandez Borbalan noted the behavior of visiting fans in his report on the match which Real won 2-0.

"During the second half a group of Real Madrid fans ... shouted monkey noises whenever Levante's two colored players wearing the numbers seven and 16 touched the ball," he said.

Colombian forward Edwin Congo and Ivory Coast midfielder Felix Ettien were the two players targeted by the supporters who appeared to belong to the club's radical Ultra Sur group of fans.
