Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal had an on-field altercation with fellow Spain international Dean Huijsen during the Spanish Super Cup final with real madrid (3-2).
The final of the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona – Real Madrid (3-2), was not without tense moments between the players. One of these featured Lamine Yamal and Dean Huijsen, teammates in the Spanish national team, but opponents on Sunday night.
Lamine Yamal got into a fight with Dean Huijsen because of Raul Asencio
The Barcelona striker jumped to call out a hard foul on Madrid's Raul Asencio, but Huijsen stepped between the two to protect his colleague and pushed Yamal. The latter's replica?
Lamine did not like the gesture, he got even more angry and raised his arms as well. The two ended up arguing and pushing each other even harder, and the Catalan shouted at him: “Are you crazy?!”.
When challenging the Real players, Lamine Yamal plays badly
Otherwise, Yamal did not play a brilliant match, although before the game he had launched a new challenge to Real. He had posted on Instagram a picture from a cartoon series, “Samurai Jack”. It tells the story of a young warrior who constantly fights a powerful demon named Aku and never gives up. “I'm young. But I'm ready to fight,” is one of the show's catchphrases.
The Barcelona forward saw himself in the role of Samurai Jack, ready to fight again against the demon Aku, embodied by Real. Coincidentally, this is not the first time that Lamine Yamal has failed to shine after challenging his opponents. He also had big problems last fall with the players of the white team.
Before the first El Clasico of the season, the one in the championship, Yamal suggested in a show that Madrid people “steal” and “complain”. Which then drew a harsh retort from Real's players, “a stupid and disrespectful gesture”, who went on to win 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
