Yamal misses easy chance for Barcelona and is upstaged by Mbappé as Madrid wins clasico
Lamine Yamal is so used to scoring that he seemed the most awestruck of all the 60,000-plus at Camp Nou when he missed an easy chance for Barcelona against Real Madrid. Yamal’s close-range miss on Sunday late in the first half summed up a frustrating clasico for Barcelona, which ended in a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Madrid in La Liga. Kylian Mbappé scored twice for Madrid to give Jose Mourinho a victory in his first game at Camp Nou since returning to coach Barcelona’s fiercest rival.
The big win pulled Madrid to within three points of first-placed Barcelona. Mbappé and Yamal are two of the favorites for the Ballon d’Or award to be announced in London on Monday.
