Real Madrid: Raúl Albiol criticizes Lamine Yamal | OneFootball

Lamine Yamal - Dani Carvajal

And the controversy around Lamine Yamal continues. The young Barça prodigy has faced a barrage of criticism following his comments against Real Madrid. This time, it’s Raúl Albiol who takes aim at the Spanish star.

Currently a defender for Pisa and a former Spain international, Raúl Albiol reflected on the altercation during the last Clásico between Real Madrid and Barça. Speaking on the show El Larguero on Cadena SER, he commented on Lamine Yamal’s remarks about Los Blancos. “He got a bit carried away... The news made headlines around the world. It’s shocking because you have to respect a club like Real Madrid and all its history. He’s very young, he still has a lot to learn... He should be left alone, and it’s clear what he said wasn’t right, but I think he’s realized that himself.” said the former Real Madrid player.

Raúl Albiol also touched on the Vinicius Júnior situation, frustrated after being substituted: “We need to normalize the fact that even the best players can be substituted. The tension and emotion are normal in derbies, but at the final whistle, I think it’s important to stay calm and enjoy the spectacle.”
