"Lamine Yamal took the limelight in the recent El Clasico despite not giving his best performance on the night, primarily for all that was said about his pre-match statements on Real Madrid and the referees. Immediately after the game, in fact, Los Blancos' captain Dani Carvajal gestured to the teenager that he 'talks too much', a situation that then progressed to a clash after the Barcelona prodigy allegedly told the veteran defender 'See you in the tunnel.'"
"As relayed by Santi Ovalle (h/t El Desmarque) in a recent report, Lamine did not say anything remotely close to what was portrayed by the media. What Yamal actually told the Real Madrid captain was 'See you in the return leg', thus sending a competitive message out to Real Madrid to look out for Barcelona when they meet later in the season at the Spotify Camp Nou."
Lamine Yamal drew attention after a heated exchange with Dani Carvajal following El Clasico, when the captain gestured that the teenager 'talks too much' after an alleged 'See you in the tunnel' remark. The phrase was misinterpreted; Yamal actually said 'See you in the return leg', conveying a competitive warning for the next meeting at the Spotify Camp Nou rather than disrespect. Barcelona faced the match without Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Joan Garcia and Dani Olmo, and Yamal struggled with discomfort and reduced involvement due to ongoing pubalgia. The focus for Yamal is full recovery ahead of possible future Clasico encounters in La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup.
