The World Soccer Community is shocked by the information of Lamine Yamal, a 17 -year -old star in Barcelona, convened to investigate the accusations of using doping. According to brand and post in X of @footballespana, Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi filed a lawsuit to UEFA, accompanied by evidence that is considered related to the “sublime” yamal performance in the semifinal of the Champions League on April 30, 2025, where Barcelona defeated 3-2-2. This incident not only threatened Yamal’s reputation, but also caused a fierce controversy about football equity.
Yamal, who just broke the Kylian Mbappé record to become the youngest player scoring at the semi -final of the Champions League, impressed with a goal and an assistance in the game. However, Inzaghi, who had previously praised Yamal as a “phenomenon,” now claimed that his performance showed abnormal signs. Part of @interglobal X publication said Inter hired a data analysis company to verify Yamal’s physical parameters, the results showed that “the energy level is not natural.” However, the details of the evidence have not been public, and UEFA only confirmed that an open investigation was opened.
The Barcelona and Yamal side reacted quickly. In an official announcement, Barcelona described as “unfounded” and said that Yamal always complied with doping test regulations. Yamal himself replied in Movistar+, declared: “I don’t need anything to play football. They can check me at any time.” Coach Hansi Flick also spoke to protect his students, accusing Infire Intense pressed the psychological pressure before the Champions League final. Some comments about @meanepride think that this is the “dirty game” of Inter to weaken Barcelona.
This incident raises questions about transparency in modern football. Doping has long been a delicate issue, with famous cases such as Armstrong in cycling, which makes the public lose confidence. However, experts such as the Spanish team doctor, Juan Carlos Montero, in AS, said that doping accusations based on performance data without positive test patterns are often difficult to prove. Meanwhile, X fans divided, with some Yamal followers and called this “psychological trick”, while others requested an exhaustive investigation.
With the next final of the Champions League, the pressure weighs in Yamal and Barcelona. If the accusation is rejected, the reputation of Inzaghi and Inter can seriously affected. In contrast, any evidence against Yamal will be a great shock for Spanish football. Currently, everyone is waiting for the results of UEFA research to clarify the truth.
