Overview
- Barcelona canceled an OPPO launch event and, per Sport and Marca, asked Yamal to pause interviews while coordinating his media activity with agent Jorge Mendes.
- Reports from El País, Metropoli and Sport say Yamal is set to buy the former Gerard Piqué–Shakira home in Esplugues de Llobregat, with plans to adapt the property for training and privacy.
- His pregame remark that Real Madrid “steal and complain” preceded a post-match confrontation at the Bernabéu involving Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior and a wider on-field melee.
- Assistant coach Marcus Sorg said Madrid doubled up to neutralize Yamal, while Dr. Pedro Luis Ripoll told El Larguero that pubic pain can reduce a player’s movement and shooting by about 50%.
- Former Barça president Joan Gaspart publicly defended Yamal as ex-midfielder Rafinha argued the comments gave Madrid extra motivation, and El Chiringuito reported the phrase “Thank you Lamine Yamal” echoed in the home dressing room.
