Barcelona’s young star Lamine Yamal has ignited a storm of controversy during his team’s La Liga title celebrations, after appearing in a shirt bearing the phrase: “Thank God I’m not a Real Madrid fan.”
The incident occurred during Barcelona’s open-top bus parade through the streets of Catalonia, where the player proudly held the shirt up for fans and cameras in a move many considered deliberately provocative towards the rival club’s supporters.
Yamal’s actions sparked outrage among Real Madrid fans on social media, who criticized the gesture as lacking sportsmanship. Barcelona had secured their 29th La Liga title after defeating Real Madrid 2-0 in the recent Clásico.
