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

Real Madrid faced a significant 4-0 loss to Barcelona in the first Clásico of the season, putting them six points behind the league leaders.

Hansi Flick’s team took advantage of Madrid’s defensive errors, with Lamine Yamal playing a crucial role by scoring and increasing the lead to 3-0. The young Spanish international consistently threatened the Madrid defense, demonstrating his impactful presence on the field.

As reported by “Defensa Central,” Yamal swapped jerseys with Real Madrid star Luka Modric, reflecting the respect the legendary midfielder holds among peers and opponents. Yamal openly praised Modric, saying, “He is an amazing player and a reference for all footballers in the world.”

After the match, Yamal stepped away from the team celebrations to request Modric’s shirt, showcasing the admiration younger players have for the Croatian’s legacy. The report also highlighted that within the Madrid camp, there’s a belief that the season is still in play, as Carlo Ancelotti emphasized in a recent press conference. Nonetheless, there’s a sense that this defeat could mark a turning point for the team.

There are clearly aspects to reflect on and opportunities to improve. While the six-point gap to Barcelona is manageable, the challenges in La Liga are growing more formidable.
