Contrary to his confidence before the match, striker Lamine Yamal had a lackluster performance in Barcelona's 1-2 defeat to Real Madrid in round 10 of La Liga on the night of October 26.

Ahead of the El Clasico at Bernabeu, Yamal caused a stir when he boldly declared that Real Madrid "screamed and stole at the same time", implying that the Spanish Royal team is often favored by referees.

The confident, even somewhat arrogant statement of the Barcelona striker made the El Clasico match even more heated before the ball rolled.

However, the situation on the field showed that Yamal was a huge disappointment. Statistics showed that the 18-year-old player had no goals or assists, 0 shots on target, 0 accurate crosses, 3 missed touches and lost the ball 21 times - numbers that are forgettable in a top match like El Clasico.

Facing Real Madrid’s solid defense and fierce pressing, Yamal was easily neutralized. His speed and technique could not be used in front of Real Madrid’s Alvaro Carreras. Meanwhile, Yamal’s ability to coordinate with his teammates was also ineffective.

After the match, many Spanish newspapers unanimously said that Yamal "put himself in a difficult position" with his uncontrolled statements. Marca wrote: "Yamal talked a lot before the match, but was silent when the ball was rolling." Meanwhile, AS commented: "A confident attitude is good, but at 18, Yamal needs to learn to let his feet speak instead of his mouth."

The defeat to Real left Barca 5 points behind their arch-rivals in the La Liga standings.

Yamal's ugly action Striker Lamine Yamal made many fans unhappy when he threw his training shirt straight onto the field instead of giving it to Barcelona's assistant, in the match against PSG in the Champions League on October 2.
