"Good job he’s only 18": Yamal’s dad defends him after Madrid clash | OneFootball

After Barcelona’s 2-1 DEFEAT at the hands of Real Madrid, Mounir Nasraoudi, far from calming things down, doubled down on Instagram with a warning for the Merengue fans.

Real Madrid took the victory at the Santiago Bernabéu, but once the match ended, Lamine Yamal, just as before, continued to be in the spotlight.

The young player, who just days ago stirred things up with controversial statements, was confronted by key figures from Los Blancos as soon as the match ended. But the tension didn’t stay on the pitch: Mounir Nasraoui, his father, appeared on social media with an explosive post defending his son.

Far from wanting to calm things down after the defeat or take Lamine out of the media spotlight, Mounir doubled down. Through his Instagram stories, he posted a photo of his son along with a defiant message. “Good thing he’s only 18, see you in Barcelona,” he wrote, a clear warning that fuels the anticipation for the rematch to be played in Catalonia in a few months.

And Nasraoui didn’t stop there. To show even more pride in his son, he also reposted another image on his account. In this second photo, he is seen posing with Lamine, who is wearing Barcelona’s number ‘10’ jersey. A strong message of support.

Mounir’s reaction is understandable given what happened as soon as the referee blew the final whistle of El Clásico. Several Real Madrid players were seen going straight for Yamal. The first was Dani Carvajal, who approached, pointed at him, and said: “You talk too much.” Immediately after, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois also came over to reproach him for his comments earlier in the week. Finally, Vini Jr. tried to go after him, but was held back.

Why did they go after him?

The Madrid squad had “singled out” the young star. In the days leading up to the match, Yamal had heated up El Clásico in his role within the Kings League. In a conversation with Ibai Llanos, the streamer directly asked him if Real Madrid is favored by referees. Lamine’s response, between laughter and nervousness, was an insinuation that went down very badly in the Madrid dressing room: “Man! Let’s see, let’s see… Damn.”
