Marc Cucurella reveals his Conversation with Lamine Yamal after El Clásico

Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella has revealed details of his conversation with Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal following the latest El Clásico encounter between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The Spanish international's comments have attracted attention, particularly given the attention surrounding Yamal and the rivalry between the two Spanish giants. Cucurella, who previously came through Barcelona's academy, remains familiar with the club and its football culture.

However, Cucurella has now clarified that he did not speak to Yamal after the match. Speaking on Spanish radio station COPE, the defender was asked whether he had exchanged words with the Barcelona youngster after the final whistle.

His response was straightforward: “No, we didn't speak. I have nothing to say. We won, and I played a good game. That's it.”

Cucurella also explained that he prefers to let his performances do the talking rather than engage in public exchanges. He added that he does not enjoy boasting and would rather remain quiet and concentrate on his responsibilities on the pitch.

The exchange comes after Yamal had jokingly warned Cucurella that he would get the better of him in their El Clásico meetings. However, Cucurella had the upper hand in their latest encounter as Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory over Barcelona.
