Lamine Yamal secretly takes Real Madrid player’s shirt: He asked for it after the match

Real Madrid suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Barcelona in the first Clásico of the season, placing them six points behind the league leaders, Barcelona.

Hansi Flick’s squad capitalized on defensive mistakes from Madrid, with Lamine Yamal playing a pivotal role by scoring and extending the lead to 3-0. The young Spanish international was a constant threat to the Madrid defense, showcasing his ability to make an impact on the pitch.

According to “Defensa Central,” Yamal exchanged jerseys with Real Madrid star Luka Modric, indicating the respect the legendary midfielder commands from both teammates and rivals. The report mentioned that the young player openly expressed his admiration for Modric, stating, “He is an amazing player and a reference for all footballers in the world.”

After the match, Yamal left the team’s celebrations to request Modric’s shirt, highlighting the respect younger players have for the Croatian international’s contributions to the game. The newspaper also noted that within the Madrid camp, there is a belief that the season is far from over, as Carlo Ancelotti mentioned in a recent press conference. However, there’s a sense that this defeat could be a pivotal moment for the team.

Clearly, there are areas to reflect on and opportunities to improve the current situation. While a six-point deficit to Barcelona is manageable, the challenge of La Liga is becoming increasingly difficult.
