Sparks fly between Lamine Yamal and Arda Guler as Barcelona and Real Madrid rivalry heats up

Spain thrashed Turkey 6-0 in World Cup qualifying in a match that saw the Barcelona wonderkid come up against rising Real Madrid star Guler. Yamal enjoyed himself on the night, grabbing two assists as La Roja crushed the hosts. It was a tough night for Turkey, and Guler, with the Real Madrid youngster's frustrations boiling over at one point as he clashed with Yamal.

After Spain had netted their sixth goal, Guler was seen giving Yamal a hefty push. The Barcelona teenager did not appear to take too kindly to the gesture and immediately moved forwards again, only to receive another push from his opponent. 

Guler had spoken about Yamal before the match and had been full of praise for the Barcelona forward. He told reporters: "I’m not surprised by what Lamine Yamal is doing because he has a lot of talent. He will do everything to make things difficult for us, but we also have a lot of potential and will play with great confidence."

The two youngster don't have too long to wait until they meet again on the pitch. The first Clasico of the 2025-26 season is scheduled for October 26th at the Santiago Bernabeu.
