Ahead of the latest El Clásico, a spark was lit not on the pitch, but in the press. Real Madrid’s goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, recently pointed to Barcelona’s young winger, Lamine Yamal, as the one who added fuel to the fire before the match.
In a conversation with COPE, Courtois didn't hold back, stating, "Lamine Yamal heated up the Clásico a bit with his words. When they beat us, they didn’t show us much respect either."
This revelation suggests that the intensity of the clash, which ended in a 2-1 victory for Real Madrid, was amplified by the pre-match exchanges.
In the aftermath of this high-stakes encounter, reports have emerged indicating a new strategy for the young Barça star. According to these reports, Yamal’s agent, the influential Jorge Mendes, is collaborating with Barcelona's management to closely monitor and regulate the player's social media activity, a direct response to the controversy that swirled around him during the El Clásico period.
