Lamine Yamal of Barcelona faced jeers from Club Brugge supporters during their 3-3 Champions League draw on Thursday, November 6, 2025, marking the second consecutive match the young winger has been targeted by opposing fans. The 16-year-old responded with a goal and an own-goal forced, continuing a strong return from a recent pubic bone injury.
The booing, stemming from recent off-field attention surrounding Yamal’s personal life, hasn’t fazed the Barcelona star. This incident underscores the increasing scrutiny faced by rising football talents and highlights Yamal’s confident approach to handling antagonistic environments. With five goals and five assists in ten appearances – including three as a starter – Yamal is quickly becoming a key player for Barcelona, and his performances are clearly provoking a reaction from rival supporters.
Yamal, who has been sidelined for at least seven matches with a pubic bone injury, is demonstrating a swift return to form.He scored one goal and created a situation leading to an own goal during the match against Club Brugge.
The Brugge fans’ actions echo similar treatment received by Yamal during El Clasico two weeks prior. Undeterred, Yamal views the booing as a sign of his effectiveness on the pitch.
“I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they boo me, and so do the others. If they boo me, it’s as I played well. I’m not worried at all,” Yamal stated to ESPN.
