The first Clasico of the season for Real Madrid. Last Sunday, Xabi Alonso's men dominated FC Barcelona (2-1), in front of their home crowd at the Santiago Bernabéu, thanks to achievements from Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham.
Elected man of the match, Kylian Mbappé could have opened with a superb strike from distance, but his goal was ultimately canceled for an offside position. Nothing to discourage the captain of the Blues, who ended up shaking the net ten minutes later (22e).
However, the VAR once again had to intervene, but this time it was accepted. Kylian Mbappé then exulted when the central referee confirmed that his goal was indeed valid. The former Parisian then harangued the crowd, before staring Lamine Yamal in the eyes, the two men being near the halfway line, ready to engage.
Mbappé hero, Yamal zero
“ Still Mbappé. It doesn't matter who the opponent is. Only him matters. Even against Barça, notes As finally. He looked Flick's players in the eyes from the start, he has already scored 16 goals this season. And 12 against Barça in nine games, scoring in the last four Clasicos », wrote Marca in particular.
For his part, Lamine Yamal did not escape criticism after his disappointing performance. It must be said that the 18-year-old Spanish prodigy set the scene on fire on the sidelines of the Clasico, saying that Real Madrid “was stealing and complaining all the time. » Enough to create tensions with the Merengue, including Carvajal and Vinicius, at the final whistle.
