At 10:02 in the morning of Monday, June 9, 2025, Vietnam’s time, a new controversy has shaken the Spanish soccer team after the painful defeat against Portugal in the UEFA final Nations League. The meeting, which ended in a 2-2 draw after 120 minutes and decided on penalties with a 5-3 result in favor of Portugal, left Spain empty, and frustration has exploded in the locker room. Lamine Yamal, the 17 -year -old star of FC Barcelona, has generated a scandal by demanding coach Luis de la Fuente to immediately eliminate three players, declaring with forcefulness: “He does not deserve to be in the field.” This explosive statement has unleashed a whirlwind of reactions between fans, media and the template itself.
The match, played last night at the Da Luz de Lisbon stadium, was an intense duel where Yamal scored one of the Spanish goals, temporarily tieding the scoreboard. However, the debacle arrived in the penalty shootout, where Álvaro Morata failed his shot critically, allowing Digo Costa to stop him and seal the Portuguese victory. Morata’s performance, who was the target of criticism for his weak penalty, seems to be the trigger for Yamal’s fury. Although it did not specify names, speculations point to Morata, along with others such as Dani Olmo or Rodri, as possible objectives of his demand, due to his performance perceived as insufficient in the crucial meeting.
Luis de la Fuente, known for his conciliatory approach, is now in a delicate position. In a brief statement after the game, the coach avoided responding directly to Yamal, just saying: “We are a team and we assume defeat together.” However, the demand of the young talent, seen as the future of Spain, puts the authority of De la Fuente in check and could force significant adjustments before the next international commitments. Fans are divided: some praise Yamal’s courage to point out internal problems, while others criticize him for his immaturity by publicly questioning veteran companions.
The impact of this controversy transcends the costumes. In social networks, hashtags like #yamalexige and #MorataFuera dominate trends, with thousands of comments discussing the team’s address. Some see in Yamal an emerging leader, while others fear that their outburst can damage the group’s cohesion. Morata’s ruling in the prison, combined with Yamal’s words, has intensified criticism for the striker, who already faced pressure for his inconsistency. With the club season about to begin, from the source you must handle this crisis carefully to avoid a greater schism in the selection. Can Yamal justify his position with future actions, or was this an impulsive moment of youth? Only time will say it.
