Fury Towards Lamine: Real Madrid Celebrate Derby Victory After Provocative Exchange

“As long as I emerge victorious they are unable to say anything,” Lamine Yamal previously stated, but this time he came up short and they were coming for him. They said he spoke too much; came the response that, yeah, they would see him off the pitch; the message was talk is cheap. This included just the players: further remarks from the preachers in media platforms, individuals who never lose.

On the eve the clásico, the teenager who says he abandoned nervousness back in Mataró implied that the Madrid side benefit from decisions and moan, or so it goes. Additionally, he provided a reminder that on his previous visit he stepped onto Madrid’s home ground – as a youngster with blaugrana braces, a spark in his gaze and his shooting ability they didn’t know he possessed – his team triumphed 4-0. Yet that was past and the present differed. Moreover, an adult currently, precisely twelve months later, he was beaten back. He knew, they told him so.

Bellingham nets derby winner as the Madrid club open a gap of Barcelona

As the final whistle sounded on a wild, heated 262nd Madrid-Barca match that felt somewhat like past encounters, the Barcelona winger approached towards Dani Carvajal, offering a handshake. Instead of accepting it, Carvajal did the old jibber-jabber motion. 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 additional efforts ruled out; now it was too much.

Suddenly appeared footballers all around, racing in and out of sight and converging, security pulling people away from each other. Amidst the melee, Madrid’s goalkeeper took up the offer to continue the dispute down the tunnel. The Brazilian forward was being held back, him telling another player as well they are too vocal. Barcelona’s winger hurried to intervene with his compatriot, Antonio Rüdiger there too. “The scene resembled our youth,” the midfielder said.

Turning Point

Earlier this year, Tchouaméni posted: “Opponents celebrate our defeats like our winning days are over. We’ll be back.” Real Madrid had just lost a derby Copa del Rey showpiece 3-2 in extra time, a collective breakdown greeting the end, ice cubes being thrown. Two weeks afterwards, they suffered another loss. In four clásicos, Madrid were defeated four times, league, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup going to Barcelona. They had conceded 4, five, three and four. However there remains the future and it turned out Tchouaméni proved correct.

Only once have the Catalan side previously secured 5 clásicos in a row, under Guardiola historic run ending with the famous 5-0 versus Mourinho’s side, and it wouldn’t happen again. This past weekend, Real Madrid brought to a close the coach’s unbeaten start as manager, defeating Barcelona 2-1 to move a significant margin clear in first place of the table.

What It Means

The Madrid squad had needed the victory. Their post-match joy said so, team members dancing in circles. Likewise, the noise, their stadium louder and more edgy than on a clásico day for years: “incredible,” the English midfielder described it. The coach said so too. Asked whether the win represented a weight off his shoulders, if existed a psychosis regarding important matches, a fixation, Xabi Alonso responded: “That’s you lot’s thing.” Yet he acknowledged that the result represented “not just three points, and our recent history and what it means to us; the boys needed the experience of securing a victory in a big game.”

In the previous campaign Madrid failed to secure a win any. Fourteen times they lost: Lille, Milan, Liverpool, Bilbao, city rivals, Betis, city foes, Valencia and Arsenal all beat them. There wasn’t one victory versus a top-tier opponent. The previous manager went and succeeded by Alonso yet the trend persisted. The team won five games in the global tournament, signs of a structure developing, a game plan, however then came Paris Saint Germain.

Season Progress

That defeat belongs to last season, Alonso said. But the new campaign, his season, started with a winning streak consecutively before Atlético came and put five against them. It was all well and good defeating Oviedo, island team and Osasuna but what about elite opponents? Finally they defeated one of them too. Moreover not only that they triumphed, but also the manner they won.

Barcelona were missing unavailable: Joan García, young midfielder, Dani Olmo, Robert Lewandowski and Andreas Christensen were absent. Additionally the winger, whose significance may at least be appreciated in absentia. Others weren’t fully fit, defender and young forward among them. Among substitutes were several individuals who hadn’t started a league game, two more who had started only once; two 17-year-olds, young talents and two who are nineteen. Plus a centre-back, Uruguayan star, who finished the match up front again. Even their manager was absent, Hansi Flick banned and located in a radio cabin. His assistant, Sorg, was in the dugout three times: he has lost each one.

Game Breakdown

Much discussion focuses of the team’s vulnerable high line, but they did not attack effectively on Sunday. Of all the things that were said to Lamine Yamal on Sunday, perhaps the most telling was from the Brazilian mid-match, taunting Yamal by saying: “Your play is retreating balls.” Regarding their defense, leakier than before after the defender leaving, defensive intensity on opponents dropping and the timing lacking, Levante created six clear chances against them, Rayo 5, Andalusian side five, Catalan club three. Last year they caught Kylian Mbappé in an offside position eight times in a high-scoring game; however, overshadowed by losses, is the fact in the last meeting he got three goals, Real Madrid consistently likely to get opportunities now.

Decisive Actions

Playing like this, especially. The match served as a start as well as an end in itself. “In the future we will require much of our performance today,” Alonso said. The team had the ball result in goals five times – three ruled out due to offside – failed to convert {a penalty|a spot-kick
