Mbappe teaches Yamal a lesson about adult silence

Kylian Mbappe shines in El Clasico.

In the world of football, that crown is only given to those who know how to wait quietly, let football speak for itself. On the evening of October 26 at Bernabeu, Kylian Mbappe said nothing - but the whole world knew who was chosen.

When words become a burden

Ahead of El Clasico, Lamine Yamal was everywhere – from social media to the Kings League broadcast – with his defiant words towards Real Madrid. The teenage talent posted pictures, sent messages, even stirred up the spirit of “arrogance” in a week when Barcelona needed focus rather than threats. The point is: when you light the fire, you have to be brave enough to bear the heat.

And Yamal failed to do that. At the Bernabeu, he was strangely lackluster. Gone was the image of the creative, agile and confident prodigy who once made the whole of Europe bow out. Instead, he was a player lacking energy, losing most of the challenges and completely caught in the trap he set himself.

At the end of the match, Dani Carvajal - the symbol of Madridista tenacity - came up and taught him a simple but profound lesson: "If you talk so much, today you will have to eat your words."

Words, without performance, are just empty sounds. Yamal learned the first lesson of growing up: football does not reward those who make noise, but those who dare to be quiet and win.

Mbappe scored 1 goal in Real Madrid's 2-1 win over Barcelona.

While Yamal was busy trying to assert himself, on the other side of the field, Kylian Mbappe chose a completely different path. He said nothing before the match, posted no pictures, and challenged no one.

But the minute Mbappe opened the scoring, the Bernabéu erupted - not out of surprise, but because it was natural. One doesn't have to declare to be a king, one just has to play like a king.

Mbappe plays football of calm, coolness and power. Without showing off, he still dominates the stage by making all eyes follow each touch of the ball. No anger, no shouting, but each sprint of the former PSG star makes Barca defenders tremble. And when the match ends, Real Madrid wins again, and Mbappe - as a matter of course - continues to wear the crown he never asked for.

That is the difference between “wanting to be king” and “being chosen to be king”.

Lessons for 18 year olds

Yamal is only 18 years old – a child prodigy on the rise. He has the talent to become a symbol of Barcelona, even of Spain. But there is a gap between potential and class – and that line is attitude. Mbappe was Yamal a few years ago: hailed, called “the successor”, compared to Messi and Ronaldo. But Mbappe doesn’t say much. He lets time, goals and trophies do the talking.

In football, maturity is not measured by age, but by the ability to take responsibility for what you create. Yamal wanted to challenge, but was not ready to pay the price. And football – cruel as it is – has a way of teaching: through failure.

Mbappe shows incredible maturity.

This year’s El Clasico was about more than just three points or honour. It was an unofficial coronation. When the final whistle blew, the Bernabeu was ablaze – not just with victory, but with the image of Mbappe: calm, humble, but resplendent in the spotlight.

Football chooses the worthy, not the demanding. The crown is not for the one who shouts “call me king,” but for the one who makes everyone bow without saying a word.

That Sunday night, the Bernabeu witnessed two generations: a boy who wanted to be king, and a man who was crowned by football. Kylian Mbappe didn’t need to ask for it – he was born to wear it.
