It is an image that is already making the rounds in all Spanish media. Lamine Yamal extends his hand to greet Robert Lewandowski, but the latter ignores him. Did the Pole deliberately throw a storm at the young Spaniard, or did he simply not realize that the latter was trying to greet him? We will probably never know, unless one of the two men speaks out.
What is certain, however, is that this does not suit the Polish striker, who was already heavily criticized by the Catalan media before his double yesterday. Especially since a few minutes later, the cameras Movistar were also able to film a sequence where we see the Pole yelling, quite vehemently, at the nugget of La Masia. On social networks, fans side rather with Lamine Yamal, and some continue to blame Lewy. Before this match against the promoted Basque, he was indeed on a series of six goals without scoring, and some also criticized him for some involvement concerns.

Xavi is tense
Tensions were therefore emerging in the locker room, while there had also been talk of problems between the former Bayern scorer and his coach, Xavi. The latter is also increasingly the target of media criticism because of the play of his team. More than any player in his squad in fact. Observers believe that there is a gulf between his speech, where he advocates a game more focused on attack, and what we see on the field, where his men struggle to produce play and create opportunities. real opportunities.
At a press conference after the match, the former midfielder made once again surprising comments, accusing the media of the poor form of certain players.“The media exaggerates. It’s the media criticism that affects the players and that’s why we don’t play well.”, launched the Catalan in particular, in comments which, like the altercation between his two best offensive players, are causing a lot of talk across the Pyrenees.
