Yamal was furious.

Lamine Yamal was outraged by the offensive slogan that overshadowed the friendly match between Spain and Egypt on the morning of April 1st.

The message from the Spanish fans inadvertently displeased Yamal.

At the RCDE Stadium, a section of the audience repeatedly chanted offensive slogans, creating a tense atmosphere in the stands. Although not directly aimed at Yamal, the remarks clearly affected the young Barcelona striker. He left the field immediately after being substituted at halftime and did not participate in the usual fan appreciation activities.

On social media, Yamal posted a strong message: "I am a Muslim. On the field, there were shouts of 'anyone who doesn't dance is a Muslim.' I understand that wasn't directed at me personally, but as a Muslim, it was still disrespectful and unacceptable."

The young star went on to emphasize that football is not a place to mock or discriminate based on religion. "I know not all fans are like that. But for those who chant those things, making fun of religion just makes you look ignorant and discriminatory. Football is for enjoyment and cheering, not for insulting others for who they are or what they believe," Yamal asserted.

Nevertheless, the player born in 2007 still thanked the fans for supporting the team, while also looking forward to the 2026 World Cup. The incident quickly sparked a wave of criticism in public opinion, raising demands for stronger measures to prevent discriminatory behavior in the stands.

In this friendly match, Spain drew with Egypt 0-0.
