Khaberni - Lamine Yamal's father stirred controversy again following Barcelona's loss to Real Madrid in El Clasico.
The international player's father posted a notable comment on his Instagram, saying: "Fortunately, he is still only eighteen years old, see you in Barcelona."
This statement came after a wave of criticism targeted his son due to his modest performance in the match, which ended in a loss for the Catalan team despite high expectations before the game.
The comment from Yamal's father came days after his provocative stance before El Clasico, where he appeared in a live broadcast saying mockingly: "I'm cooking them here, and my son is cooking them there," indicating his excessive confidence in Barcelona's ability to dominate Real Madrid.
Lamine Yamal himself had stirred the atmosphere before the clash, when he posted clips on his Instagram of his previous goals against Real Madrid, and boasted in his talk with the famous content creator Ibai Llanos saying: "I have scored at the Bernabeu before, and the last time I played there, we won 4-0."
The preparations did not stop there, as the young star appeared with a new hairstyle especially for the anticipated match, which increased the anticipation surrounding his performance, but the outcome was not as he or his fans expected, as he left El Clasico without any notable impact where he neither scored, assisted, nor shot any ball on goal, and also lost possession 21 times during the match.
Despite the criticisms, the player's father tried to defend him with a message that carried a double meaning, acknowledging the modest performance but also reminding of his young age and promising future. Nonetheless, many observers believe that the excessive confidence before the match negatively reflected on his performance on the field, leaving this El Clasico empty-handed, in one of his most silent matches since the beginning of the season.
