A valuable dose of experience. That's how you could sum up Lamine Yamal 's last few days . Defeated with FC Barcelona in the Clasico on Sunday (2-1) , the 18-year-old rising star struggled to make an impact with the ball at his feet, effectively neutralized by Álvaro Carreras in particular, but also by Vinícius Júnior, who stole the show for better or for worse . Real Madrid were keen to punish the Barcelona player for his antics before the match and his infamous remark about how Madrid players "steal and complain all the time..."
For his insults, he received special treatment. Dani Carvajal didn't hesitate to tease his national teammate at the end of the match, saying, "You talk too much . " The captain had planned a brief meeting with the best young player of Euro 2024. The two were supposed to meet up with the national team in two weeks for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, traveling to Georgia (November 15) and then facing Turkey (November 18), but the reunion will be postponed.
The executives want to speak to Lamine Yamal
The right-back will undergo arthroscopic surgery and be sidelined for two to three months . He is not expected to return before 2026. This will at least have the benefit of resulting in a significantly less tense training camp than recent reports suggested. Following their altercation, the two men have unfollowed each other on Instagram . Cadena Ser reported earlier that the federation was taking a decidedly positive stance and was not overly concerned about the potential impact on the Spanish dressing room.
Nevertheless, the issue needs to be addressed. According to Cope , several key players believe that Lamine Yamal needs to be confronted about what happened in the days leading up to and following the Clasico. No one in Luis De La Fuente's squad wants this incident to disrupt the team's atmosphere, especially in a World Cup year where La Roja is considered one of the favorites. This is undoubtedly the best way to maintain the always precarious balance in a dressing room divided between Real Madrid and Barcelona players.
