Tensions between Barca and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) escalated, just because of young talent Lamine Yamal , which both sides want to take advantage of as much as possible.

In this FIFA Days November, in which the Spanish team has 2 World Cup 2026 qualifiers: visiting Georgia (0:00 on November 16) and welcoming Turkey (2:45 on November 19). Head coach La Fuente of course included Lamine Yamal in the squad list, after the 18-year-old scored in 3 consecutive matches recently for Barca.

The 18-year-old striker also showed off his cool style when he packed up for the Spanish national team. However, now Lamine Yamal is back in Barcelona wearing the same outfit.

The reason, La Fuente was forced to remove Lamine Yamal in anger, because of the 'unique trick' from Barca : sending a medical report to RFEF at 22:30 local time, Monday evening (November 10). The club said the young player had just undergone radiofrequency treatment in the morning, with a recommended recovery time of 7-10 days!

Captain La Fuente said in exasperation: “ I was shocked. I had never been through a situation like this before. I didn’t think it was normal. You don’t know anything, you don’t have any news about it, and then suddenly they tell you like that… ”.

The RFEF believes that Barca was “disrespectful” by deliberately doing so to keep Lamine Yamal out of the Spain national team. However, the Catalan team immediately responded, affirming that they had informed the Federation about the 18-year-old talent’s condition, before performing treatment related to pubic muscle pain.

According to Spanish media, the main reason why Barca decided to 'ambush' the Spanish team was related to... Nico Williams.

That's because Barca knew that Nico Williams - Yamal's close friend, also suffered a similar injury, just helped Athletic Bilbao win 1-0 Oviedo but was given a rest by La Fuente, not called up to the Spanish national team.

So Barca decided to take action to claim similar rights for Lamine Yamal and the player himself agreed. And his treatment was carried out, following the advice of the leading specialist in treating pubic bone injuries from Belgium - Dr. Ernest Schilders.

With no other choice, RFEF, the Spanish national team and La Fuente had to grit their teeth and 'release' Lamine Yamal back to Barca.
