The young talent Lamine Yamal remains the center of focus before El Clasico as he shares an enigmatic post on social networks, heating up the mood before the epic battle between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Ahead of the fierce encounter at Santiago Bernabéu this Sunday, the 2007-born player once again “taunts” his archrivals by posting a goal celebration photo right in front of the Real Madrid stands, a move that has irritated Los Blancos fans.
Notably, this is not the first time Yamal has provoked the opposition before El Clasico. Previously, his confident remarks sparked intense debate, even fueling rumors that Real’s veteran defender Dani Carvajal wanted to “have a private talk” with the young Barca star to “send a warning” on the field.
He didn’t stop there; Yamal also shared an inspiring video with a profound message:
“A player from the neighborhood doesn’t play for fame, but to fight for his future. He doesn’t play for the spotlight, but so he never has to return. The real pressure isn’t on the pitch, but in the eyes of those who have never stopped believing. And when he scores, he doesn’t celebrate out of ego but because he knows that goal can change everything: for himself, for the fans, and for his neighborhood.”
At the end of the video, Yamal concludes with a confident declaration: “I left fear behind in Mataró long ago.”
This heartfelt message has stirred the online community, especially with El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona set for this Sunday at Santiago Bernabeu. Although both coaches try to cool down the pre-match tension, all eyes will surely be on Yamal, the player expected to be the focal point in this grand showdown.
In the pre-match press conference, Barcelona’s assistant coach Marcus Sorg expressed support for his player: “Lamine is a top-level player, and I believe this game will give him extra motivation. We hope to see Yamal perform at his best tomorrow.”
On the other side, Real Madrid’s coach Xabi Alonso declined to comment deeply on the young Barca star: “This is already a big match. What matters most is what happens on the pitch, how we play and perform. That’s what I care about the most.”
