<p>In a recent interview, Barcelona sensation Yamal delivered an impressive and composed response when asked about the racist abuse he faced during October's Clasico against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, showing not only his mental resilience but also a level of wisdom beyond his years.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Videos surfaced on social media showing 17-year-old Yamal, along with Raphinha and Ansu Fati, allegedly being subjected to racial abuse by some Madrid fans during Barcelona's 4-0 win. In response to the incident, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/real-madrid-open-investigation-reports-racial-abuse-towards-lamine-yamal-defeat-barcelona/blt9352fa67b564306d#cs8b2a13de13b1848d" target="_blank">Real Madrid launched an investigation</a>, with Vinicius Jr. publicly condemning the abuse and expressing his solidarity with the affected players.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In a recent interview with DAZN, Yamal was asked about the incident and how it had affected him. In reply, the youngster came up with a wonderful answer.</p><p>"I think if we had lost, maybe I would have thought, 'Why are they saying this or that to me?' But in the end, it's about enjoying life," he said (h/t <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20250311/1002423383/confesiones-lamine-sobre-insultos-racistas-bernabeu-infancia.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>).</p><p>"When someone insults you, maybe they were raised that way or didn't receive the right values. Therefore, I think you should ignore it and move on."</p>

WHAT LAMINE YAMAL SAID

<p>Yamal was on song on Tuesday, in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Benfica, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/video-lamine-yamal-ridiculous-assist-raphinha-stunner-barcelona-champions-league-benfica/bltb1d7c35ac244e0d3" target="_blank">setting up the opener for Raphinha before scoring a stunning curler</a> to help Barcelona progress to the quarter-finals with a 4-1 aggregate win. Hansi Flick will be expecting more of the same from the teenager when the Catalans travel to the Metropolitano Stadium to take on title rivals Atletico Madrid in a top-of-the-table La Liga clash this Sunday.</p>
