Lamine Yamal has sent a fresh message to Real Madrid fans ahead of El Clasico on Sunday at the Santiago Bernabeu.<\/p>\n
Yamal has now posted another update on social media that likely won\u2019t go down well in the Spanish capital. He\u2019s posted a picture of himself celebrating in front of Real Madrid fans on Instagram.<\/p>\n
Yamal has also uploaded a video which says: \u201cA player who comes from the neighborhood doesn\u2019t compete for fame. He competes for his future. He doesn\u2019t play for the spotlight, he plays to never go back. The real pressure isn\u2019t in the stadium, it\u2019s in the eyes of those who never stopped believing. And when he scores, he doesn\u2019t celebrate out of ego. He celebrates because he knows that goal can change everything. For him, for his fans, and for his neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n
The video ends with Yamal saying: \u201cI left fear in Matar\u00f3 a long time ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
The focus will surely be on Yamal on Sunday, even though both managers have tried to played down his words ahead of the game.<\/p>\n
Barca assistant Marcus Sorg said at his pre-match press conference: \u201cLamine is a top player, and I think it will be motivating for him. We hope we see him tomorrow giving his best performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Xabi Alonso was also asked about Yamal but didn\u2019t want to talk about the Barca star.<\/p>\n
He said only: \u201cIt\u2019s an important enough game. The important thing is what happens on the pitch, and what we have ahead of us tomorrow, and how we want to play. That\u2019s what most concerns me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lamine Yamal has sent a fresh message to Real Madrid fans ahead of El Clasico on Sunday at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251878,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1480,1481,403,99],"class_list":["post-251877","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-barcelona-la-liga","tag-barcelona-team-news","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251877","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251877"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251877\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
