Real Madrid legend launches bizarre attack on Lamine Yamal while on international duty - after Spain suffered Nations League final defeat by Portugal
Real Madrid legend Guti has taken aim at Lamine Yamal over his fashion choices during Spanish team press conferences. Yamal has shot to stardom over the last 12 months and has quickly become one of football's most entertaining stars after impressing for Barcelona in 2024-25. Hiss rapid rise in the professional game has even seen Yamal become a regular in the Spanish first-team squad - having played a starring role in their Euro 2024 success. However, in the aftermath of their UEFA Nations League final defeat against Portugal, the teenage winger has come under fire for his 'Ibiza' fashion sense. Former Madrid star Guti - who made 542 appearances for Los Blancos - told El Chiringuito: 'I don't know if this is the first time I've seen a guy with a cap backwards. I don't like that because he's with the Spanish national team! 'When he goes to Ibiza, or wherever he wants, he can do it. But not with the Spanish national team at a press conference. I don't like it.' On Thursday last week, following their clash against France in the semi-finals of the Nations League, Yamal arrived at the press conference with his cap backwards. It marks the second time that the Barcelona youngster has been critiqued for his appearance - after Rafael van der Vaart took aim at him for wearing his pants 'a little lower'. Back in March, the Dutch pundit and former Tottenham star blasted Yamal as 'superficial,' 'not making much effort,' wearing his pants 'a little lower,' and claimed that he struggled against left-back Jorrel Hato in Spain's clash with Netherlands. But Yamal hit back on social media, as he wrote on Instagram: 'Pants down, one goal, missed penalty, and in the semifinals. Hehehehehe, let's go Spain!' After scoring on the night, Yamal also celebrated - alongside Nico Williams - by pulling his shorts down. A clear reference to Van der Vaart's criticisms. Though Yamal and his Spanish team-mates fell to a penalty shootout defeat against Portugal in the final, the 17-year-old has still enjoyed an immense 2024-25 campaign. Having fully established himself as a first-team star at Barcelona, Yamal went on to record 18 goals and 21 assists from 55 appearances during the season. His prolificacy in front of goal helped Hansi Flick's side ensure the LaLiga title and saw them narrowly miss out on a Champions League final spot - after defeat by Inter Milan. Yamal was similarly criticised for his fashion sense by former Dutch player Rafael van der Vaart - before the Spanish youngster then poked fun at the retired star after posting this picture Meanwhile, Yamal's national team-mate Alvaro Morata has said he has a big decision to make on his international future and suggested it's 'possible' that he retires. On Sunday night, the Spanish captain was on the bench during the UEFA Nations League final defeat to Portugal. He came on during extra-time as a penalty shoot-out loomed, only to miss a decisive spot-kick during Spain's loss. 'I feel bad for my teammates, but it's part of life,' said Morata to to Spanish outlet AS. 'The penalty? I didn't take it well, I could have done better, but there's nothing I can do now. Retirement from the national team? It's possible, I won't be back in September.'
