In recent months, Lamine Yamal has been the target of strong criticism, particularly because of his life off the field, having had a highly publicized summer. His behavior was also singled out by some. But in an interview given to El DesmarqueAlex Baena, player of Atlético and the Spanish selection, wanted to defend the Catalan.

“We talk about him too much. He is a normal and humble boy. Everything is amplified because he plays in a club the size of Barça”thus indicated the star summer recruit of the Colchoneros, regretting the numerous exaggerations and the over-media coverage of the Blaugrana number 10, absent from the next La Roja matches because of a medical intervention aimed at relieving his pubalgia.
