However, we should not necessarily see in this little scene a growing tension between Lewandowski and Yamal. This is what Inigo Martinez assures. “It happens a thousand times per match, explains the Spanish international. We focus on one time, and we make a big deal out of it. »
The Basque ensures that everything is fine in the locker room. “The Basque stressed that the team is very united, the relationship between Lamine and Robert is excellent, explains the former Bilbao player. We are a great team and we stay away from controversies, which bring us little. »
