Fury Against Yamal: Los Blancos Celebrate Clásico Victory After Provocative Comments

“Whenever I emerge victorious they are unable to say a word,” Lamine Yamal once stated, however on this occasion he didn’t win and they closed in for him. They said he spoke too much; they replied that, yeah, they were going to meet him off the pitch; they told him words mean little. And that was only the players: there was more from commentators in their pulpits, individuals who never lose.

On the eve the clásico, the teenager who claims he left fear back in his hometown implied that the Madrid side benefit from decisions and complain, according to reports. He also offered a reminder that on his previous visit he had been Madrid’s home ground – as a youngster with blaugrana dental work, a glint in his eye and a right foot was unexpected he possessed – he beat them 4-0. Yet that was past and this was now. And, more mature currently, precisely twelve months later, he was beaten back. He knew, they told him so.

Bellingham scores clásico decisive goal as Real Madrid open a gap of Barcelona

As the final whistle sounded on a wild, intense latest Madrid-Barca match that felt a little like past encounters, the Barcelona winger approached towards Madrid’s captain, offering a handshake. Rather than taking it, Madrid’s captain did the classic talking motion. The match was challenging following with all the action that happened in over an hour and forty-five that preceded it, a match of 38 shots, three goals recorded and additional efforts ruled out; at that moment it became impossible.

Suddenly there were footballers all around, running in and out of sight and converging, security pulling people away from each other. Amidst the melee, Thibaut Courtois took up the offer to resume this in the dressing room area. The Brazilian forward was restrained, him saying to another player as well they talk to much. Raphinha hurried to stop his countryman, the defender also present. “The scene resembled our young,” the midfielder said.

Turning Point

Earlier this year, Tchouaméni posted: “Opponents rejoice in our defeats as if we will never win again. We will return stronger.” Real Madrid were defeated in the clásico Spanish Cup showpiece 3-2 in extra time, emotional scenes greeting the end, projectiles flying. Two weeks afterwards, they suffered another loss. In four encounters, Madrid had lost on each occasion, league, Copa del Rey and Super Cup going to their rivals. They had conceded four, five, three and 4. But there remains tomorrow and it turned out Tchouaméni proved correct.

Only once had Barcelona previously won 5 clásicos consecutively, under Guardiola record-breaking run concluding with the famous 5-0 versus Mourinho’s team, and it was not repeated. On Sunday, Real Madrid ended Hansi Flick’s unbeaten start in charge, beating Barcelona 2-1 to go five points ahead at the top of the table.

What It Means

Madrid required this. The celebration reflected this, players dancing in circles. Likewise, the crowd’s roar, their stadium louder and more edgy than for such matches for years: “incredible,” Jude Bellingham described it. Manager Xabi Alonso echoed this. Asked whether the win represented a relief, or existed a psychosis regarding important matches, a fixation, he shot back: “That’s you lot’s thing.” But he did admit that the result represented “not just three points, but where we come from and its importance for the squad; the boys required the experience of securing a victory in a big game.”

In the previous campaign they failed to secure a win in such matches. On fourteen occasions they were defeated: French side, Milan, Liverpool, Bilbao, city rivals, Sevilla-based, Atlético, Valencia and Arsenal all beat them. There wasn’t a single win versus a top-tier opponent. The previous manager departed and was replaced by Alonso yet the trend persisted. The team won several victories at the Club World Cup, signs of a structure developing, an idea, however then came Paris Saint Germain.

Season Progress

That belongs to last season, Alonso said. But the next season, under his guidance season, started with a winning streak consecutively until city rivals visited and scored five against them. It was all well and good defeating Oviedo, Mallorca and Pamplona side however, against the big teams? Finally they had beaten one of them too. And it wasn’t just that they won, it was the way they won.

The opposition were missing out: Joan García, young midfielder, attacking midfielder, star striker and Andreas Christensen were absent. So too Raphinha, whose significance may at least be appreciated by his absence. Several players weren’t fully fit, Jules Koundé and young forward included. On the bench they had several individuals who not begun a league game, others who featured just one time; two 17-year-olds, young talents and two who are nineteen. Plus defender, Uruguayan star, who finished the match in attack once more. Even their manager was missing, Hansi Flick suspended and located in a commentary box. His assistant, his assistant, has been on the touchline on three occasions: he suffered defeats in all of them.

Game Breakdown

Much is made of the team’s vulnerable high line, yet they did not attack well on Sunday. Among the things directed at the young player that day, perhaps the most telling came from Vinícius mid-match, mocking Yamal by saying: “You’re all retreating balls.” Regarding their defense, more porous than before with Iñigo Martínez departing, the pressure on opponents decreasing and the timing lacking, Levante made six clear chances against them, Rayo five, Sevilla 5, Catalan club 3. Previously they trapped the French forward in an offside position on multiple occasions in an open clásico; however, overshadowed by the defeats, was that in the last meeting he got three goals, Madrid always positioned to create chances currently.

Decisive Actions

With this approach, especially. This was a beginning as well as a significant result. “In the future we’re going to need much of our performance in this game,” the manager commented. They put shots in the net five times – three efforts ruled out due to offside – missed {a penalty|a spot-kick
