Lamine Yamal

The players are determined to settle things with Lamine Yamal this Sunday during El Clasico. This decision follows comments by the young Barça player, who accused Los Blancos of being thieves.

For now, Real Madrid has not yet officially responded to the Lamine Yamal controversy. However, Marca has revealed the general mood inside the Madrid dressing room. And unsurprisingly, no one appreciated the remarks made by the 18-year-old Blaugrana star. According to the outlet, his statements were met "with a mix of exhaustion and weariness. The general feeling is that Yamal is a poor sport. (...) Within the Madrid club, they don't understand these comments from Barça's number 10 just hours before Sunday's Clasico at the Bernabéu."

The Madrid locker room can't fathom the logic behind this kind of provocation. Still, the Real Madrid players weren't entirely surprised by Lamine Yamal , and they refuse to chalk it up to youthful indiscretion. "They believe that Lamine Yamal , and this isn't something they attribute to his youth, fails to respect the basic codes between professionals. His (the Catalan's) words have caused considerable discomfort in a locker room that now wants to use them as fuel for Sunday's match."

Sunday's Clasico is shaping up to be a fiery showdown. Mundo Deportivo reports that Dani Carvajal plans to have a word with Lamine Yamal after the match to set the record straight.
