Is Yamal becoming Mbappe’s nightmare?

Although he is only 18 years old, Yamal continues to break out in important games, becoming a nightmare for La Liga defenders and superstars like Mbappe.

Before every major game, the collision between the stars of the two teams will always attract attention. Today, Yamal, the "jewel" of Barcelona and Spain, is becoming a "nightmare" for Real Madrid star Mbappe. Over the past year, Yamal has continued to frustrate Mbappé in major matches. This string of victories began in the Euro 2024 semi-finals, when Spain defeated France 2-1. Yamal became the focus of the game with his dazzling performance, helping Spain beat France in a tense game.

Then in the Spanish Super Cup, Yamal led Barcelona to a 5-2 victory over Real Madrid. In April's Copa del Rey final, Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-2 in a dramatic match. Although Yamal himself did not score a goal, he still made a contribution and helped Barcelona narrowly defeat their opponents. In the two El Clasicos last season, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 4-0 and 4-3 respectively. In this game, Yamal scored goals. The last time Yamal embarrassed Mbappe was in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals in June this year, when Spain defeated France 5-4 in a goal shootout. Yamal scored twice to help Spain eliminate France again.

The consecutive victories against Mbappe are not only Yamal's personal achievement, but also show the stability and tactical excellence of Barcelona and the Spanish team. We will wait and see whether this weekend's El Clasico will be an opportunity for Mbappe to get revenge, or whether Yamal will once again dominate.
