Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has admitted taunts from Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal have only added to the excitement of El Clásico.
Ahead of a match which rarely needs any additional buildup, Yamal sparked a wave of controversy by accusing Madrid of “stealing and complaining” in regards to refereeing, before chiming in with one final dig as he reminded fans of Barcelona’s 4–0 win at the Santiago Bernabéu last season.
