Real Madrid Cannot Handle Barcelona – Lamine Yamal

Barcelona winger, Lamine Yamal, has claimed Real Madrid cannot handle this season.

Yamal was speaking after Hansi Flick’s men came from behind to beat their bitter rivals in the Copa del Rey on Saturday.

Jules Koundé struck a dramatic 116th minute winner to clinch the trophy, after Ferran Torres’ late goal had forced the game into extra time.

The victory was Barça’s third against Madrid this season, after the 4-0 LaLiga win at the Bernabéu in October and the 5-2 Spanish Supercopa final triumph in January.

The two Spanish giants will face off again in the league on May 11.

“I said to [Barça defender] Ronald [Araújo] when we were speaking in the hotel earlier: ‘If they score one goal, no problem,’” Yamal told reporters.

“If they score two goals? No problem. They cannot handle us this year — we have shown it.”

Yamal, 17, had set up Pedri for the opener and then fed Torres for the equaliser after Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni had g

iven Madrid the lead.
