"Former Barcelona president Joan Gaspart has offered some heartfelt yet firm advice to Lamine Yamal, following the backlash the youngster faced after his controversial comments about Real Madrid before the El Clasico. The 18-year-old's remarks during a Kings League appearance - "They steal, they complain..." - stirred a storm of reactions from both Madrid players and fans, setting the stage for heated exchanges on and off the pitch."
"As he put it, the young winger is being guided out of love, "He is loved," Gaspart said, comparing the situation to that of "a father scolding his son." He went on to criticise those who prematurely labelled Yamal as the best in the world, warning that such praise can do more harm than good for a player still in development."
Joan Gaspart responded to backlash faced by 18-year-old Lamine Yamal after the youngster's Kings League remark that 'They steal, they complain' about Real Madrid. The comment provoked strong reactions from Madrid players and fans, and after El Clasico Dani Carvajal publicly reproached Yamal, triggering a scuffle. Gaspart framed his intervention as affectionate guidance, saying Yamal 'is loved' and likening the rebuke to a father scolding his son. Gaspart warned against labeling Yamal the best in the world, called such praise harmful to development, criticised Carvajal's reaction, predicted reconciliation, and urged recovery over constant play.
