Fury Towards Yamal: Los Blancos Revel in Clásico Win After Heated Comments

“Whenever I win they can’t say a word,” the young star previously stated, however on this occasion he came up short and opponents closed in for him. They said he spoke too much; came the response that, indeed, they would see him outside; they told him words mean little. This included just the players: there was more from commentators in their pulpits, individuals who always have opinions.

On the eve the clásico, the teenager who says he left fear behind in his hometown suggested that Real Madrid rob and complain, or so it goes. He also offered a reminder that on his previous visit he had been Madrid’s home ground – as a youngster with blaugrana braces, a spark in his gaze and his shooting ability they didn’t know he possessed – his team triumphed 4-0. Yet that was past and this was now. And, an adult currently, exactly a year on, his side fell short. It was clear, they told him so.

Jude Bellingham scores derby decisive goal as Real Madrid pull clear of Barcelona

As the match conclusion sounded on a wild, intense 262nd clásico that felt somewhat like old times, the Barcelona winger walked towards Dani Carvajal, offering a handshake. Instead of accepting it, Carvajal did the old talking motion. It had been hard enough following with all the action that happened in over an hour and forty-five that went before, a match of 38 shots, multiple scores scored and additional efforts disallowed; at that moment it became impossible.

Suddenly appeared footballers everywhere, racing in and out of sight and piling in, police pulling individuals apart. In the middle the scuffle, Madrid’s goalkeeper was accepting the offer to continue the dispute in the dressing room area. Vinícius was being held back, he saying to someone as well they are too vocal. Raphinha hurried to stop his countryman, Antonio Rüdiger also present. “The scene resembled when we youth,” the midfielder commented.

Turning Point

Earlier this year, Tchouaméni posted: “They celebrate our losses like we will never win again. We will return stronger.” Real Madrid were defeated in the derby Spanish Cup showpiece 3-2 after additional minutes, emotional scenes following the end, ice cubes being thrown. Two weeks afterwards, they suffered another loss. Over four clásicos, the team had lost on each occasion, league, cup and Spanish Super Cup going to their rivals. Their defense allowed 4, 5, three and 4. However there is always the future and it turned out he was right.

Only once had Barcelona previously won 5 clásicos consecutively, under Guardiola historic streak concluding with the famous 5-0 versus Mourinho’s team, and it was not repeated. On Sunday, Real Madrid ended the coach’s perfect record in charge, beating Barcelona 2-1 to move five points ahead in first place in La Liga.

Significance

The Madrid squad required this. The celebration reflected this, players dancing in circles. Likewise, the noise, their stadium louder and more edgy compared to for such matches in recent memory: “incredible,” Jude Bellingham described it. The coach said so too. When questioned if this was a relief, or existed a psychosis around big games, a fixation, Xabi Alonso responded: “That’s you lot’s thing.” But he acknowledged that the result represented “more than a win, and where we come from and what it means for the squad; the players required the experience of securing a victory in a major fixture.”

Last season Madrid failed to secure a win any. On fourteen occasions they were defeated: French side, Milan, Liverpool, Bilbao, city rivals, Sevilla-based, Atlético, eastern side and London club all beat them. They did not achieve a single win against a top-tier opponent. Carlo Ancelotti went and succeeded by Xabi Alonso yet the trend persisted. Madrid secured several victories at the Club World Cup, indications of a structure developing, a game plan, but then came PSG.

Current Campaign

That defeat belongs to the prior year, the coach said. But the new campaign, his season, began with a winning streak in a row before city rivals visited and put five against them. It was positive defeating Oviedo, Mallorca and Pamplona side however, against elite opponents? Finally they had beaten one of them too. Moreover it wasn’t just that they triumphed, but also the manner they achieved it.

Barcelona were missing out: Joan García, Gavi, Dani Olmo, star striker and Andreas Christensen were absent. Additionally the winger, an important player may at least be fully recognised by his absence. Several players weren’t fully fit, Jules Koundé and young forward among them. On the bench were five players who hadn’t started a league game, two more who featured only once; two 17-year-olds, young talents and a couple who are 19. Plus a centre-back, Ronald Araújo, who finished the match in attack again. Additionally their manager was missing, Flick suspended and located in a radio cabin. Marcus Sorg, his assistant, was in the dugout three times: he has lost each one.

Tactical Analysis

Much is made of Barcelona’s vulnerable high line, yet their offense struggled well on Sunday. Of all comments directed at the young player on Sunday, maybe the most telling came from the Brazilian during the game, taunting the teenager by saying: “Your play is backwards passes.” As for that backline, leakier than before after the defender departing, the pressure on opponents decreasing and the timing lacking, one opponent created multiple opportunities versus Barcelona, another team 5, Sevilla 5, Girona three. Previously they caught the French forward in an offside position on multiple occasions in a high-scoring game; yet, lost amid the defeats, is the fact in the last meeting he got a hat-trick, Real Madrid always positioned to create chances currently.

Key Moments

Playing like this, in particular. The match served as a start and also an end in itself. “In the future we will require a lot of our performance in this game,” Alonso said. They put the ball result in goals on five occasions – three efforts disallowed due to offside – missed {a penalty|a spot-kick
