Real Madrid supporters plan to jeer Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal when he enters Santiago Bernabeu Stadium for El Clásico on Sunday. Spanish publication Marca reports the hostile reception will start when announcers read his name before kickoff. The crowd reaction follows statements Yamal made on the streaming platform Twitch, alongside Gerard Piqué and Ibai Llanos, about referees favoring Madrid.
The 17-year-old forward said officials steal decisions and then complain about criticism. His remarks angered Madrid fans, who view them as disrespectful accusations of match-fixing. The atmosphere between Spain's top clubs is already intense, and this controversy will heighten it. Stadium observers expect the confrontation to escalate tensions in one of the world's most-watched matches.
