Barça defeated Real Madrid and won the 32nd Copa del Rey, taking the victory in extra time. Much of the victory was due to Lamine Yamal, who assisted in two of the three goals scored. At times, the match became complicated for the culers, who were trailing on the scoreboard and had to come back from an adverse result. Despite this, Lamine Yamal never feared for the victory, or so he says.
Lamine Yamal Confessed to Ronald Araújo During Barça-Madrid
After the match against Real Madrid, Lamine Yamal spoke to the media, where he made his confession to Ronald Araújo public. In statements to Barça One, the very young Barcelona player was blunt: "I told Araújo that it didn't matter if they scored one or two goals because this year they can't beat us".
These words have caused anger in Madrid, labeling Lamine Yamal as arrogant. But the reality is this, out of three matches played this season, Barça has won all of them. The first, in La Liga, by 0-4; the next, in the Spanish Super Cup, by 2-5; and the last one, in the Copa del Rey, by 3-2.
There is still one more to go, corresponding to La Liga, which has to be played in Montjuïc. This will be played next Sunday, May 11, with the competition very tight and potentially crucial for the outcome of the championship.
