Real Madrid found their way back to winning classics against Barcelona on an afternoon of dominance at the Santiago Bernabéu. After the 2-1 victory, players from both teams argued as they left the pitch, including Lamine Yamal, who was highlighted in the week before the match due to off-field controversies.
The young number 10 had provoked Real before the game with public statements against the Merengues. In an interview, he even said that “Madrid steals”.

Lamine Yamal criticized for performance in El Clásico
With physical discomfort, possibly due to pain in the pubis that left him out of some games, Lamine produced little and ended the duel surrounded by rivals who did not forgive the provocations.
The Spanish press criticized the player’s stance: “Lamine’s words were serious. No Barça star, Messi, Xavi or Iniesta, would ever say something like that. Not even in the times of Mourinho and Guardiola”, highlighted the Spanish newspaper Marca.
The outlet even compared him to Neymar, saying that Yamal would be following the same path as the Brazilian star.
With enormous potential, the young man is seen as promising to be the “best in the world”, but needs, according to analysts, to “measure his words better so as not to become an unlikable player”.
