Lamine Yamal once again caused a stir in the latest La Liga match against Atlético. After being substituted, the 18-year-old reacted with anything but enthusiasm.
The Barça talent left the pitch with a gesture of obvious frustration that went unnoticed by neither the cameras nor the fans in attendance.
Although there was initial speculation about a possible confrontation with Hansi Flick, the real reason for his anger was José Ramón de la Fuente, the goalkeeping coach on the staff.
In the second half, De la Fuente repeatedly criticized Yamal from the sidelines over his decisions in the penalty area.
The tension rose when the coach reproached him for shooting at goal instead of looking for the pass, even though Robert Lewandowski had set him up moments earlier.
Yamal, who had missed several clear scoring chances, felt the pressure from the bench after his performance on the pitch was excessive.
When the substitution was made, Flick tried to greet his superstar warmly, but he responded with a bitter gesture and pointed behind him.
With that gesture, Lamine directed his protest straight at De la Fuente.
