Yamal jeered by Madrid fans after comments

ByEnigma 808

Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal faced relentless hostility from Real Madrid supporters at Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday after claiming the hosts cheat and complain in a televised interview two days earlier. The 18-year-old struggled under constant jeers each time he touched the ball in Madrid’s 2-1 victory. Home fans roared when he appeared to foul Vinicius Jr in the penalty area, though video review overturned the call.

Madrid defender Alvaro Carreras contained Yamal effectively after some early promising moments. The teenager attempted his signature curling shot but faded as the match progressed and Madrid controlled play. Madrid captain Dani Carvajal, who plays alongside Yamal for Spain, confronted him after the final whistle about his remarks.

Barcelona assistant coach Marcus Sorg acknowledged the hostile environment likely impacted the young winger. He noted Yamal is still learning to handle crowd pressure and admitted the atmosphere made things difficult for the typically motivated player.
