The clash occurred in the heart of the Camp Nou. When the classic seemed to be aimed at a tense tactical duel, the 17 -year -old prodigy Lamine Yamal exploded social networks … for an unexpected reason. After scoring a superb goal of the draw against Real Madrid, the young end of Barcelona made two highly symbolic gestures: the famous “calm” popularized by Cristiano Ronaldo, immediately followed by the posted possess of Kylian Mbappé.
A double provocation, carefully choreographed? For many Barça fans, it was a “power outlet”, a message sent to previous generations. But from the Madrid side, and especially among CR7 fans, the interpretation was very different: a flagrant lack of respect for two living legends.
A few hours later, it was Cristiano Ronaldo himself who decided to break the silence. In a sober but powerful History of Instagram, the former winner of the Golden Ball published an image of his iconic celebration with these eight chilling words in the title:
“Talk when you won five leagues.”
The phrase, disseminated by the press around the world, had the effect of an electric shock. “He humbled him without raising his voice,” summarized a commentator from the Movistar channel. According to sources close to the Portuguese wardrobe, CR7 was especially upset by the “youth arrogance” of the young Spanish. “Cristiano saw the video three times and simply said:” He has not yet demonstrated anything, “confessed a member of his surroundings.
Yamal, on the other hand, has not officially responded, but close to the player say that “he received order not to throw firewood” by the Barça directive. A programmed publication in its X (formerly Twitter) account would have been eliminated at the last moment, by express request from Xavi.
But the tension did not end there. According to several internal, historical sources of Real Madrid, including Sergio Ramos and Iker Casillas, they also reacted privately. “With the club’s heritage, it is not played so easily,” a former Real Madrid manager was allegedly whispered.
In social networks, the debate is growing. Some young fans applaud Yamal’s audacity, describing it as “change of era.” Others ask for respect for icons, remembering that “not even Messi ever dared to make this type of gestures towards Christian.”
Between racks, the Spanish Federation also closely follows the case: several newspapers speak of a possible symbolic sanction for “provocative behavior.” A rare measure, but not unpublished.
What follows? There have been persistent rumors that a meeting between Yamal and Ronaldo was proposed as part of an advertising event in June. The objective: deactivate the tension between racks and transform the bustle into a communication operation.
There is still no official confirmation. But one thing is true: the duel between nascent arrogance and established greatness just begins …
