Lamine Yamal’s Words Cause Unease at Real Madrid and Could Affect the Spanish National Team

Lamine Yamal’s statements during his meeting with Ibai Llanos at a Kings League event have not gone down well at Real Madrid, as the young Barça player ironically suggested that the white team “cheats.” In general, the Madrid squad considers his remarks to be “stupid statements” that reflect poorly on the person making them.

According to Marca, the club plans to speak with Yamal. Real Madrid captain Daniel Carvajal will handle the discussion once El Clásico concludes this Sunday at the Santiago Bernabéu. Beyond seeing his words as mere “stupidity,” Madrid considers them a lack of respect, whether directed at Real Madrid or any other LaLiga club.

Additionally, Madrid believes these statements could threaten the harmony of the Spanish national team. It remains to be seen whether this episode will affect the upcoming national team call-up starting November 10, ahead of Spain’s final two World Cup qualifying matches against Georgia and Turkey.

Lamine Yamal Ignites El Clásico: His Harsh Words Against Real Madrid Cause Tension in Valdebebas

Lamine Yamal’s jab at Real Madrid and Ibai Llanos during a Twitch chat with Gerard Piqué on the Kings League channel did not go unnoticed. “Yes, they cheat, they complain, they do things I don’t even know…,” said the Barça star, a statement that has fired up the buildup to El Clásico this Sunday at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Within Madrid’s camp, the comments are puzzling, especially so close to LaLiga EA Sports’ most anticipated match. Many also note the irony, given the Negreira case, which links Barcelona to payments made to the former vice president of the Spanish Referees Committee over two decades.

Sources close to the Real Madrid locker room say Yamal’s words have served as extra motivation for a squad still stung by last season’s four defeats to Barça. In Valdebebas, they believe the young winger “doesn’t respect professional codes,” and that his youth does not excuse his comments.

While not entirely surprising, the academy player’s remarks have caused discomfort during Friday’s training. Real Madrid hopes to channel that frustration on the pitch this Sunday, in a match that represents not only the pride of El Clásico but also the fight for the LaLiga top spot.

Kylian Mbappé: “There’s Nothing More Special Than El Clásico — We Want to Beat Barcelona at the Bernabéu”

Kylian Mbappé, named Real Madrid’s Mahou Five-Star Player for the second consecutive month, emphasized that El Clásico against Barcelona is “the most special game in the world” and stated that the white team is determined to secure a win at the Santiago Bernabéu.

“It’s the game everyone wants to watch. At the club level, there’s nothing more special. You can only compare it to a big Champions League match, but in LaLiga, there’s no other game like Real Madrid vs Barcelona. It’s the match everyone wants to play, but we don’t just want to play it — we want to win,” said the French forward.

Mbappé, seeking his first Clásico victory in a Real Madrid shirt, hopes to feel the Bernabéu crowd’s support this Sunday as he leads the team toward a crucial win in the race for the LaLiga title.
