Barcelona superstar forward played El Clasico through pain | Barca Universal

"Lamine Yamal's performance in El Clasicohas come under serious criticism, not only because of the high standards he has set for himself but because of the player's pre-game statements that only served to up the stakes. While the player has almost always delivered after making such open warnings, last night was a rare instance of when he failed to turn up completely."

"In 90 minutes, he completed only 50% of his dribbles, had just 55 attempted passes and no accurate crosses. Still unfit As relayed by El Chiringuito TV in a recent report, Yamal is still not at 100% and has not completely recovered from his pubalgia that has ruled him out of action in recent weeks. The outlet mentions that the teenager is still dealing with pain in the area and played El Clasico through the pain, explaining his struggles on the night."

"In fact, he was even seen in discomfort on a couple of occasions and asked his teammates not to send the ball his way during certain passages of play. The condition Yamal is suffering from - pubalgia - limits the player's ability to burst forward in pace and make quick changes in direction. Both being elements that are fundamental to his style of play, it is understandable why the player was struggling last night."

Lamine Yamal underperformed in El Clásico, completing only 50% of his dribbles, attempting 55 passes and delivering no accurate crosses in 90 minutes. The player remains hampered by pubalgia and has not fully recovered, causing pain that affected his mobility. Pubalgia limits his ability to burst forward and change direction quickly, both central to his playing style. He appeared uncomfortable at times and asked teammates to avoid passing to him during certain spells. Rest for a few games is presented as the advisable option to restore fitness, even though it would be a setback for the team.
