Fury Towards Lamine: Real Madrid Celebrate Derby Win Following Heated Comments

“Whenever I win they are unable to say anything,” Lamine Yamal previously remarked, however on this occasion he didn’t win and opponents were coming for him. They said he was overly vocal; they replied that, indeed, they would meet him off the pitch; they told him words mean little. And that was only the players: further remarks from the preachers in their pulpits, men who always have opinions.

Just before this epic clash, young Lamine Yamal who says he abandoned nervousness back in Mataró implied that Real Madrid benefit from decisions and complain, according to reports. He also provided a reminder that the last time he had been the Santiago Bernabéu – a kid with blaugrana braces, a glint in his eye and his shooting ability they didn’t know he possessed – he beat them 4-0. Yet that was past and the present differed. Moreover, more mature currently, precisely twelve months later, his side fell short. It was clear, they told him so.

Jude Bellingham scores clásico decisive goal as the Madrid club pull clear of Barcelona

When the final whistle sounded on an intense, intense latest clásico that was a little like past encounters, the Barcelona winger walked towards Dani Carvajal, offering a handshake. Rather than taking it, Madrid’s captain did the classic talking gesture. The match was hard enough following with everything that happened in the 105 minutes that went before, a match of 38 shots, three goals scored and three more disallowed; now it was impossible.

Suddenly appeared footballers everywhere, running in and out of view and converging, police pulling individuals apart. Amidst the melee, Thibaut Courtois was accepting the invitation to resume this down the tunnel. The Brazilian forward was restrained, he telling someone else they are too vocal. Barcelona’s winger was running to intervene with his countryman, Antonio Rüdiger there too. “It was our youth,” Aurélien Tchouaméni commented.

Shift in Momentum

Earlier this year, Tchouaméni posted: “Opponents celebrate our losses as if we will never win again. We’ll be back.” Real Madrid were defeated in a derby Spanish Cup showpiece 3-2 after additional minutes, a collective breakdown greeting the end, projectiles flying. A fortnight later, they were beaten again. In four encounters, the team had lost on each occasion, league, cup and Spanish Super Cup won by Barcelona. Their defense allowed four, 5, 3 and 4. But there remains tomorrow and as it happened he was right.

Only once have the Catalan side previously secured five derbies in a row, under Guardiola record-breaking run concluding with the famous 5-0 against Mourinho’s side, and it was not repeated. On Sunday, Real Madrid ended Hansi Flick’s unbeaten start in charge, beating their arch-rivals 2-1 to go five points clear in first place of the table.

Significance

Madrid required the victory. The celebration reflected this, team members dancing together. So did the noise, their stadium louder and intense than on a clásico day in recent memory: “incredible,” the English midfielder described it. Manager Xabi Alonso said so too. Asked if this was a weight off his shoulders, if there had been a mental block around important matches, an obsession, he shot back: “That is the media’s narrative.” Yet he did admit that the result represented “more than three points, and where we come from and its importance to us; the players needed the experience of winning a major fixture.”

In the previous campaign Madrid failed to secure a win in such matches. On fourteen occasions they lost: French side, Italian club, English team, Athletic, Espanyol, Sevilla-based, city foes, eastern side and London club all beat them. They did not achieve one victory against a truly big side. The previous manager departed and was replaced by Xabi Alonso yet the trend persisted. Madrid won several victories in the global tournament, signs of a structure emerging, a game plan, but then came PSG.

Season Progress

That belongs to last season, Alonso said. But the next season, his season, began with a winning streak in a row until city rivals visited and scored five against them. It was all well and good beating Oviedo, Mallorca and Osasuna but what about elite opponents? Now at last they defeated a major rival too. Moreover it wasn’t just that Madrid won, but also the way they achieved it.

The opposition were missing out: backup keeper, young midfielder, Dani Olmo, star striker and defender were absent. Additionally Raphinha, an important player may at least be fully recognised by his absence. Several players were not at 100%, Jules Koundé and young forward included. Among substitutes were five players who hadn’t started in La Liga, others who featured only once; teenagers, young talents and two who are nineteen. Plus a centre-back, Uruguayan star, who finished the match in attack once more. Even head coach was missing, Hansi Flick banned and stuck in a radio cabin. His assistant, Sorg, was on the touchline on three occasions: he suffered defeats in each one.

Game Breakdown

Much discussion focuses of the team’s vulnerable high line, but their offense struggled well during the match. Among comments that were said at the young player that day, perhaps the most telling came from Vinícius during the game, mocking Yamal by saying: “Your play is backwards passes.” As for their defense, more porous than before after the defender departing, the pressure on opponents decreasing and coordination lacking, one opponent created six clear chances versus Barcelona, Rayo 5, Andalusian side five, Girona 3. Last year they caught the French forward in an offside position on multiple occasions in an open clásico; yet, lost amid losses, was that in their most recent match he got three goals, Real Madrid consistently likely to get opportunities now.

Decisive Actions

With this approach, especially. This was a beginning and also an end in itself. “In the future we will require much of what we did in this game,” the manager said. They put the ball result in goals five times – three efforts ruled out due to offside – missed {a penalty|a spot-kick
