In the El Clasico last weekend, Barcelona lost 1-2 to Real Madrid. After the match, Lamine Yamal was the player who received the most criticism for his lackluster and unconvincing performance.

The 18-year-old star has had few good matches recently, mainly due to a groin injury. However, he has still been given the opportunity to play, leading many to mistakenly believe that the problem is not serious.

In fact, Yamal cannot play at 100% of his ability at the moment.

Recently, Dr. Pedro Luis Ripoll, a sports injury expert in Spain, revealed information that surprised many people.

He said Yamal was suffering from a problem known as pubalgia - a chronic condition in the groin that causes constant pain and limits spontaneous movement.

This makes the Barcelona star unable to move flexibly, loses the ability to dribble skillfully and his finishing ability is not good enough.

The problem was evident in the Clasico, when Yamal did not have many risky tackles. According to medical experts, the injury could have gotten worse if he had to play at a fast, intense pace.

"This is a very difficult injury to treat. It causes pain that limits the player's ability to move and shoot by up to 50%," Dr. Ripoll shared.

He also said that this type of injury does not affect the structure of the hip joint. However, it can take the player from weeks to months to fully recover. Currently, the medical team of Barcelona and the Spanish national team are closely monitoring Yamal's condition.

Since his 18th birthday party, Lamine Yamal has been constantly involved in trouble on the field and in his personal life. Before the El Clasico, he spoke out to criticize and defame Real Madrid to heat up the match.

But when entering the competition, this player was obscured when he was constantly "bullied" by Real Madrid players.

Off the field, Yamal is also involved in many rumors of partying and dating, constantly changing lovers.
