Real Madrid Star to 'Confront' Lamine Yamal at El Clasico After His Comments

Lamine Yamal has angered the Real Madrid camp ahead of Sunday's El Clasico.

Dani Carvajal is planning to speak to Lamine Yamal following his controversial comments ahead of the first El Clasico of the season.

Real Madrid host Barcelona on Sunday in the standout fixture of the La Liga weekend.

Xabi Alonso's team welcome Hansi Flick's side to the Bernabeu as the league leaders.

But if the Catalan giants can secure a victory, then they will leapfrog their rivals to top spot.

They will pin their hopes on their attacking stars, including Yamal, who has returned to the fold after recovering from a groin issue.

Yamal will be looking to improve his goal tally when he faces Real.

The El Clasico is already a monster occasion but this season's first showdown between Spain's two elite clubs has been intensified following the 18-year-old's pre-match comments.

Appearing on Ibai Llanos’ Twitch stream, Yamal was asked about Real Madrid to which he replied: "They [Real Madrid] steal, they complain... of course they do. Last time I went to the Bernabeu, we won 0-4."

Now, Yamal is pals with Ibai, who is a Real fan, so his comments are somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

But the teenage phenom's comments haven't gone down well in the Real dressing room.

According to Marca, Yamal has caused 'considerable discomfort' and that Real's players find themselves 'incomprehensible'.

The Spanish outlet also states that they didn't find his comments surprising as they 'believe that. Yamal, which they do not attribute to his youth, does not respect the basic codes among professionals'.

Real players reportedly want to use them as fuel for Sunday's clash.

Carvajal, who is Yamal's Spain teammate, is planning to confront the Barca superstar after the match, according to Mundo Deportivo.

It's also been suggested that Real think the youngster's comments 'will jeopardise the great harmony that exists within the Spanish national team', which was on display at Euro 2024.

Ex-Barca defender Gerard Pique, who played in several El Clasico matches during his career, has defended Yamal.

"Let’s accept Lamine as he is. Obviously, he’ll gain experience, no one is the same at 18 as at 38," he explained.

"As for the criticism from Madrid? It’s understandable. They’d love to have a Lamine of their own."
