Real Madrid Falls to Barcelona 5-2 in Super ClΓ‘sico; Lamine Yamalβs Gesture to Luka Modric Stands Out
Real Madrid suffered a 5-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Super ClΓ‘sico, a match in which the Catalans dominated throughout. Had goalkeeper Szczesny not been sent off, the scoreline could have been even more lopsided.
Hansi Flickβs team took full advantage of Madridβs defensive mistakes, with Lamine Yamal being one of the standout performers. The young Spanish international scored a brilliant goal against Courtois and caused constant problems for the Madrid defense. His dynamic play made him a key figure in the match.
After the game, according to Defensa Central, Yamal took a moment to leave his teamβs celebrations and privately approach Luka Modric. This gesture of respect and admiration for the Real Madrid legend was significant, as Yamal had previously expressed his admiration for Modric, calling him “an amazing player and a reference for all footballers.”
The young starβs actions demonstrated the mutual respect between players, even across rival lines. Despite Real Madrid’s disappointing loss, there remains a belief within the club that much of the season is still ahead, as Carlo Ancelotti mentioned in his post-match comments. However, this defeat may serve as a turning point, leading to introspection and efforts to address the challenges the team faces, particularly against organized, high-level opposition.
