Union blame Lamine Yamal for conceding seven: couldn't you keep quiet? | OneFootball

There are defeats that make you look for someone to blame, and Union Berlin has already found theirs. It wasn’t the coach, nor the defense, not even Harry Kane. The man responsible for Bayern putting seven past them this Friday was... Lamine Yamal. At least according to the Berlin club’s community manager, who decided to take the thrashing with a fair bit of humor.

The idea came when the scoreboard was already showing 7-0. Union brought back the Barça player’s remarks about the Ballon d’Or, in which he argued that the award should recognize the best footballer and not necessarily whoever scores “80 goals.” A comment that in Germany was immediately taken as a dig at Harry Kane.

And then came the tweet: “Couldn’t that 19-year-old brat from Barcelona have just kept quiet?” Kane and Michael Olise were “on fire,” Union continued, proving they had Ballon d’Or pedigree. The problem for the Berliners was that this statement was being made precisely against them: two goals from the Englishman and three from the Frenchman.

The joke didn’t end there either. Once the match was over, someone in Union’s offices must have realized that pointing the finger at Barcelona fans’ golden boy could turn out to be even more dangerous than visiting Munich. And the admin went back to social media to ask his followers a small favor after the Bavarian trip.

“Please, keep this tweet well away from Barcelona. I’m not ready right now for angry Catalans after this trip,” he wrote. A second dose of self-parody to cap a night when talking tactics probably felt far more unpleasant. When you’ve conceded seven, there’s always one solution left: blame Lamine Yamal.
