“Whenever I win they can’t say anything,” Lamine Yamal once remarked, but this time he didn’t win and opponents closed in for him. Comments were made he spoke too much; they replied that, yeah, they were going to meet him outside; the message was words mean little. This included only the players: there was more from the preachers in their pulpits, individuals who always have opinions.
Just before the clásico, young Lamine Yamal who says he left fear back in his hometown suggested that Real Madrid benefit from decisions and moan, according to reports. Additionally, he provided a reminder that the last time he stepped onto Madrid’s home ground – a kid with blaugrana braces, a spark in his eye and a right foot was unexpected he possessed – his team triumphed 4-0. But that was then and this was now. Moreover, more mature currently, precisely twelve months later, his side fell short. It was clear, they told him so.

As the match conclusion sounded on a wild, heated latest clásico that felt somewhat like past encounters, the Barcelona winger approached towards Dani Carvajal, offering a handshake. Rather than accepting it, Madrid’s captain made the classic talking gesture. The match was hard enough keeping up with all the action that happened in over an hour and forty-five that went before, an encounter of numerous attempts, multiple scores recorded and additional efforts ruled out; now it was impossible.
All at once there were players all around, racing back and forth of sight and converging, security pulling individuals apart. Amidst the melee, Madrid’s goalkeeper was accepting the offer to continue this down the tunnel. Vinícius was being held back, him telling someone as well they are too vocal. Barcelona’s winger was running to intervene with his countryman, Antonio Rüdiger there too. “It was our young,” the midfielder said.
In April, Tchouaméni posted: “Opponents celebrate our defeats like we will never win again. We’ll be back.” Madrid were defeated in the clásico Copa del Rey final 3-2 in extra time, a collective breakdown following the final whistle, ice cubes flying. A fortnight later, they were beaten again. In four encounters, Madrid had lost on each occasion, La Liga, Copa del Rey and Super Cup going to their rivals. Their defense allowed four, 5, three and 4. But there remains the future and it turned out Tchouaméni proved correct.
On just one occasion had Barcelona ever won 5 derbies consecutively, under Guardiola historic streak ending with the famous 5-0 against José Mourinho’s team, and it wouldn’t happen again. On Sunday, Real Madrid ended the coach’s unbeaten start in charge, beating their arch-rivals 2-1 to move five points ahead in first place of the table.
Madrid had needed this. Their post-match joy reflected this, players dancing in circles. So did the noise, the Bernabéu louder and intense compared to for such matches for years: “incredible,” the English midfielder called it. The coach echoed this. Asked if the win represented a weight off his shoulders, or existed a psychosis around important matches, an obsession, Xabi Alonso responded: “That is the media’s narrative.” But he acknowledged that this was “not just a win, but where we come from and its importance for the squad; the players needed that feeling of securing a victory in a big game.”
Last season they failed to secure a win in such matches. On fourteen occasions they lost: French side, Italian club, Liverpool, Bilbao, Espanyol, Betis, city foes, Valencia and Arsenal each defeated them. There wasn’t one victory versus a top-tier opponent. Carlo Ancelotti departed and was replaced by Xabi Alonso yet the trend persisted. Madrid secured several victories at the Club World Cup, indications of tactical organization emerging, an idea, but they faced PSG.
That defeat belongs to last season, the coach said. Yet the new campaign, his season, started with six wins in a row before Atlético came and scored five past them. The results were positive defeating newly promoted, island team and Osasuna however, against the big teams? Finally they defeated a major rival as well. Moreover it wasn’t just that they won, it was the manner they won.
The opposition were missing out: Joan García, Gavi, attacking midfielder, Robert Lewandowski and Andreas Christensen were all missing. Additionally Raphinha, whose significance may at least be appreciated by his absence. Several players weren’t fully fit, defender and Lamine Yamal included. Among substitutes they had five players who not begun a league game, others who had started just one time; two 17-year-olds, young talents and a couple who are 19. And defender, Uruguayan star, who finished the match up front once more. Even head coach was missing, Hansi Flick suspended and stuck in a radio cabin. His assistant, his assistant, has been on the touchline three times: he suffered defeats in each one.
Much discussion focuses of Barcelona’s defensive setup, but their offense struggled well on Sunday. Of all comments that were said to Lamine Yamal on Sunday, perhaps the most revealing was from Vinícius mid-match, mocking the teenager by telling him: “Your play is retreating balls.” Regarding their defense, more porous than before after the defender departing, the pressure on passers decreasing and the timing lacking, Levante made six clear chances versus Barcelona, Rayo five, Andalusian side 5, Catalan club three. Previously they caught Kylian Mbappé in an offside position eight times in an open clásico; yet, overshadowed by losses, was that in their most recent match he got three goals, Real Madrid consistently likely to create chances now.
With this approach, especially. This was a beginning and also an end in itself. “In the future we’re going to need a lot of what we did today,” the manager said. They put the ball in the net five times – three disallowed due to offside – missed {a penalty|a spot-kick
