The strain between Real Madrid and Barcelona has not eased after last weekend’s El Clasico, with Lamine Yamal’s father, Mounir Nasraoui, delivering a scorching statement aimed at Real Madrid’s squad.
The Super Classic at Santiago Bernabéu ended with a 2-1 victory for Real Madrid, but the atmosphere turned chaotic immediately after the final whistle. According to multiple Spanish sources, Dani Carvajal was the first to approach Lamine Yamal provocatively, reportedly referencing the young Barcelona star’s pre-match comments accusing Real Madrid of “corruption and frequently winning thanks to referees.”
It didn’t stop there; goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was also involved in a verbal exchange with Yamal before Vinicius Junior stepped in, nearly escalating the incident out of control. Security personnel at Bernabeu had to intervene promptly to prevent a physical confrontation between the two sides.
A few hours later, Lamine Yamal’s father, Mounir Nasraoui, posted a cryptic message on his personal Instagram account. He shared a recent interview image of his son with popular streamer Ibai Llanos, where Yamal had sparked controversy with the statement “Madrid always wins because referees favor them”. Under the photo, Nasraoui wrote a brief but challenging caption:
“Good thing he’s only 18... See you again at Barcelona.”
The post quickly went viral on social media, garnering tens of thousands of shares and comments. Many Barca supporters viewed it as a strong rebuttal to the attacks aimed at Yamal, while Real Madrid fans considered it as “adding fuel to the fire.”
Although Barcelona has yet to issue an official response, the incident has intensified the anticipation for the second leg of El Clasico at Camp Nou later this season. With Yamal regarded as La Masia’s new icon and Real Madrid remaining the historic rival, every move by the 18-year-old player and his family is under close scrutiny.
Spanish media predict that the tension between the two sides is unlikely to end here, and the upcoming showdown at Camp Nou promises to be even more heated than before.
