Real Madrid no longer afraid of Yamal?

Specifically, when participating in a TV show before the match, Yamal called Real Madrid "thieves". Yamal even declared that he was more excited to score against an amateur team than Real Madrid. "Because I have already scored against Real Madrid", Yamal said provocatively.

Real Madrid fans were obviously furious. Provocative moves are never lacking in "El Clasico" matches, but words as excessive as Yamal's are rare. The problem is... Yamal is right. At least when the 18-year-old player shows contempt for his opponent.

Last season, Barca won all 4 matches against Real Madrid, pouring 16 goals into the opponent's net. 3 of those goals belonged to Yamal, not to mention a series of assists, stirring up and countless pressure that Barca's golden boy brought to Real Madrid.

Yamal was too arrogant when he made a series of contemptuous statements about Real Madrid. But Real also needs to turn their anger into strength. Losing all four times in a season is an unprecedented shame in Real Madrid's history. Mbappe and his teammates need to stay calm in the face of Yamal's provocation. Especially when Barca is still sharp after a summer.

This match is the best chance for Real Madrid to get revenge. That is when they have home field advantage, while Barca is drowning in a storm of injuries. In this match, Barca will be without Lewandowski, Raphinha, Olmo, Gavi, De Jong, Stegen and Joan Garcia, which is almost the entire star-studded squad. Not to mention that coach Hansi Flick will most likely not be able to direct on the field because of the red card in the previous round.

But Barca are so loaded with talent that the German isn’t too worried about missing key players. Up front, they have rookie Rashford, who is so versatile that he could replace Raphinha or Lewandowski. If Rashford plays as a striker, young players with potential like Dro Fernandez or Bardghji could be chosen to replace Raphinha. And if De Jong doesn’t recover in time, Fermin Lopez is ready to fill Pedri’s position, allowing Pedri to drop back into central midfield.

As for Real Madrid, they have suffered a big loss when Rudiger is definitely absent. In addition, two other central defenders, Alaba and Huijsen, are also racing to recover in time. In the worst case, Real Madrid will lose up to 3 of their best central defenders.

HUY DANG
