Yamal couldn’t hold back his emotions after the La Liga triumph.
Details: Today, during the team’s overall celebration of their La Liga victory, the 18-year-old Barcelona winger pulled out a shirt with a highly provocative message.
In the heat of the festivities, as the entire Barcelona squad rode atop the team bus through the streets of Catalonia, Yamal unveiled a shirt emblazoned with the phrase: “Thank God I’m not a Real fan.” After showing off the message, Yamal mockingly danced while holding it up in front of the cameras.
This behavior from the young Spaniard has already sparked a wave of outrage among Real Madrid fans, who accuse Lamine of blatant disrespect.
In yesterday’s El Clásico, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 2-0 to clinch their 28th La Liga title in club history.
