Real Madrid star Bernardo Silva was keen to highlight what he considered unsportsmanlike behaviour on the part of Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal during last weekend’s El Clásico.
This came amid persistent attempts to protect teammate Marc Cucurella from the team of officials.
Real Madrid of course renewed rivalries with their most bitter opponents this past Sunday, in a La Liga showdown at the Spotify Camp Nou.
When all was said and done, Los Blancos emerged on the right side of a 2-1 result, in the process breathing fresh life into the title race in Spain’s top-flight.
One of the key factors in the visitors’ eventual triumph was the performance of the aforementioned Marc Cucurella, who did about as good a job as possible in limiting Lamine Yamal’s impact.
On occasions in which the 19-year-old attempted to involve the team of officials in his protests, though, Cucurella had the full backing of teammate Bernardo Silva.
As per a report from Diario Sport, citing Portuguese outlet A Bola, Bernardo was caught on the referee cam shouting:
“There’s nothing there! He (Lamine) keeps provoking (Cucurella); he’s provoking him!”
