The past few hours have unveiled the real reason behind Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal’s disappointing performance during the El Clásico against Real Madrid, held at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in the 10th round of La Liga.
After Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory over their traditional rivals, Barcelona, the royal team extended its lead in La Liga to 27 points, while the Blaugrana dropped to second place, now a full five points behind. However, what added further intrigue to the match was Yamal’s performance, which failed to meet expectations.

What Influenced Yamal’s Performance?
Before the match, Lamine Yamal sparked controversy with a provocative statement aimed at Real Madrid, saying, “At Real Madrid, they steal and then complain!” This comment angered the fans and some of the club’s players, adding more tension to an already heated encounter.
However, the most shocking revelation came from the Spanish program El Chiringuito, which highlighted the player’s injury. According to reports, Yamal played the match with a groin injury, despite warnings from the medical staff not to risk it. Yet, the player decided to play due to his enthusiasm, which ultimately affected his performance negatively.
Injury Behind the Decline
According to medical sources within the club, concerns are growing that Yamal’s groin (pubis) injury could turn into a chronic issue, potentially leading to another setback. This injury had already kept him out of the previous international break, further raising alarm bells within Barcelona’s ranks.
The team’s technical staff is now awaiting the results of medical tests in the coming hours to assess the severity of the injury and determine whether Yamal will be fit for upcoming matches.
