MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – Lamine Yamal has set the stage ablaze ahead of El Clásico. “They steal, they complain, they do things I don’t even understand…,” said the Barcelona star, taking a jab at Real Madrid during a casual chat with Gerard Piqué and streamer Ibai Llanos.
The harsh words didn’t exactly surprise the Merengues, who, according to Marca, are growing increasingly tired of the young blaugrana’s off-field behavior — seen in Valdebebas as arrogant and even hypocritical, given the ongoing Negreira case involving Barcelona’s alleged payments to the former vice president of the Spanish referees’ committee over two decades.
Yamal’s accusations have only fueled Real Madrid’s motivation ahead of Sunday’s clash. The squad had already circled the date in red after suffering four defeats to the Catalans last season. His comments, while causing some unease within the dressing room, have ultimately become extra fuel for a team determined to reclaim the top spot in La Liga this weekend.
