The Phrase That Ignited the Clásico Build-Up

Ahead of the much-anticipated Real Madrid vs Barcelona, Lamine Yamal once again took center stage — but this time off the pitch. During his appearance on “Chup Chup”, a Kings League show, the Barça winger was invited to preview the match between La Capital (his team) and Porcinos FC, owned by Ibai Llanos.

Everything was going smoothly until the 18-year-old was asked whether he saw any similarities between Porcinos and Real Madrid. Without hesitation, he fired off a remark that quickly went viral:

“Of course, yes… they steal, they complain.”
The comment sparked laughter, surprise, and even some awkwardness from Ibai himself — a well-known Madrid supporter — who replied, startled: “I’m not so sure about that.”

Lamine Between the Kings League and El Clásico

At just 18 years old, Lamine Yamal has become one of the most charismatic faces of both FC Barcelona and the Kings League. On the show, he spoke about his upcoming appearance at the Cupra Arena, sharing his excitement ahead of facing Porcinos and stating he was “really looking forward to scoring.”
But the moment that stood out came when he drew a playful parallel between both games:

“I already scored against Madrid, now it’s Porcinos’ turn,”
he said with a grin, exuding confidence ahead of Sunday’s Clásico at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Reactions on Social Media

Lamine’s remark quickly ignited a storm online. Barça fans praised his boldness and sense of humor, while Madrid supporters accused him of “provoking” ahead of the most anticipated match in Spanish football.
Inside Barça’s locker room, the coaching staff are trying to keep the focus on football — but there’s no denying that the youngster’s words added extra spice to an already heated buildup.

A Clásico Ready to Explode

With Barcelona under pressure to win and stay in the title race, and Real Madrid determined to defend their dominance at home, Sunday’s clash at the Bernabéu (4:15 PM local time) promises to deliver fireworks.
And while Lamine Yamal’s comments may have started as a joke, their echo will be heard in every corner of the stadium. The battle has already begun — and this time, it didn’t start with the ball… but with words.
