Lamine Yamal’s absence ultimately made no difference: Spain steamrolled Georgia 4-0 and took another big step toward qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. Yet, behind the scenes, the FC Barcelona prodigy’s name continues to spark heated controversy between the Spanish Federation and the Catalan club.La Roja is accusing Barça of failing to promptly report a medical procedure performed on the player to ease his pubalgia. This lack of transparency has triggered fresh tension in a saga that’s lighting up both the media and social networks.

The Spanish press wonders: does La Roja really need him?

On the pitch, La Roja sent a crystal-clear message: their game doesn’t hinge on a single talent, no matter how extraordinary. Mikel Oyarzabal, Ferran Torres, and an inspired collective led a confident team, despite the combined absences of Yamal, Pedri, Nico Williams, and Dean Huijsen. The Spanish media, unsurprisingly, didn’t miss this detail, splashing headlines with a sometimes provocative tone.

“,” writes El Mundo.

It’s a similar tune from El Español, which headlines: “Lamine Yamal is not missed by Spain.”

And El Debate takes the irony even further: “Who remembers Yamal? Spain shines in Tbilisi.”
