"Beyond the comments or not, it will be a spectacular match. We'll see what happens. A lot of importance is always given to what is said, especially if it's before a match like this. I'm not very up to date with the news either. Some people will say it's to warm up the match, and others won't like it, but what really matters is what happens in those 90 minutes."
"Pedri is Pedri. In our time, well, there are always comparisons. Pedri is making his way, with the talent he has, with the weight he already has at Barça and in the national team. For me, he's the most differential player, in what I understand as a footballer, what a footballer represents. I just want him to continue on this upward trajectory, which will undoubtedly be very good for Barça,"
Lamine Yamal accused Real Madrid of 'cheating' ahead of Sunday's El Clasico, provoking upset from Real Madrid and criticism within Barcelona, with some calling the comment 'stupid' and Dani Carvajal expected to confront Yamal after the match. Andrés Iniesta framed the remark as adding spice and stressed that El Clásico's importance surpasses pre-match comments, saying the result of the 90 minutes matters most. Iniesta also lauded Pedri's talent and influence, noting his established role at Barça and with the national team and urging continued progression for the player's benefit to Barcelona.
