"For me, Lamine Yamal is a great player and will be a player who will mark an era at Barça...but I think he spoke in a certain way ahead of the Clásico, he heated things up a bit", he told
"When you're under a lot of pressure and adrenaline, sometimes you say things that you later regret. But I think that's what a Clásico is like."
"Sometimes we need that atmosphere, and I think after losing four times last year, we needed that fire from an enemy again... and we had to go after them because when they won, they did not shown us any respect."
"I think if Carvajal or Dean Huijsen played for Spain tomorrow, there would be zero problems. These things stay on the pitch. If I saw Lamine tomorrow, I'd say hello to him", said Courtois🧤🇧🇪
