After Barcelona defeated Galatasaray 4-1, the war of words between Lamine Yamal and Mario Lemina continued. Lemina gave a notable response to the young star's post, "Does he know who I am now?"
After Galatasaray's 4-1 defeat to Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League, the events between Mario Lemina and Lamine Yamal took on a new dimension. Yamal, who had been in the spotlight before the match due to Lemina's comments about him, this time made a reference to the Galatasaray player with a post.
YAMAL'S REFERENCE TO LEMINA
After the match, a Spanish journalist reminded Lamine Yamal of Lemina's previous statements. When the journalist said, "Lemina surely knows you by now," the young star smiled without making any statement and waved his hand as he went on his way.
On Wednesday, Yamal made a post featuring the player of the match award. The Barcelona star, who also added a ghost emoji, wrote, "Does he know who I am now?"
HIS TEAMMATES ALSO GOT INVOLVED
Yamal's teammates from Barcelona also commented on his post. Raphinha, who could not play in the Galatasaray match due to injury, commented, "I think he knows you now." Fermin Lopez, on the other hand, supported the young star with the words, "I think he knows who you are now."
LEMINA'S REPLY TO YAMAL CAME QUICKLY
After Yamal's post, Mario Lemina did not stay silent either. The Gabonese player said, "Of course I know, my little brother is crazy about you. Congratulations." The experienced midfielder also added laughing emojis to his reply.
IT ALL STARTED WITH THE WORDS "WHO IS YAMAL?"
The back-and-forth between the two players dates back to last year. Mario Lemina, when asked the question "Lamine Yamal or Leroy Sane?", jokingly replied, "Wait a minute! Who is Lamine Yamal? I only know Sane, I don't know anyone named Lamine Yamal."
The Gabonese player, before the Barcelona match, clarified his words: "It was a joke for fun, part of the game. There was nothing disrespectful."
