Lamine Yamal went to greet the Real Madrid star secretly: After the match, he went directly to him and left the celebrations
Real Madrid suffered a 5-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Super Clásico, a match where the Catalans were in control from start to finish. Had goalkeeper Szczesny not been sent off, the scoreline could have been even more lopsided.
Hansi Flick’s side capitalized on Madrid’s defensive mistakes, with Lamine Yamal emerging as a key player, scoring a brilliant goal against Courtois. Yamal was a constant threat to Madrid’s defense and lived up to his reputation with an exceptional performance.
After the game, Yamal made a point of going directly to Luka Modric to greet and console the Real Madrid star, a gesture that highlighted the mutual respect between the two.
According to Defensa Central, Yamal expressed his admiration for Modric, calling him an “amazing player and a reference for all footballers around the world.”
While the Real Madrid squad remained hopeful, as Carlo Ancelotti emphasized that there was still plenty of season left, this loss feels like a turning point.
Despite the setback, the team is aware that more reflection and adjustments are needed, especially as Madrid struggles to overcome well-organized teams with top-tier players.
