"Just for fun. You were joking."

Legend Andres Iniesta (41), from FC Barcelona, actively defended Ramin Yamal (18, FC Barcelona), who was in the midst of a 'provocation remark' incident.

Currently, Spain's Primera Liga is somewhat noisy due to Yamal's remarks ahead of the scheduled early morning of the 27th between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona 'El Clasico'.




Yamal told Spanish media on the 25th that `Real Madrid steals (the victory) and complains.'

'El Clasico' is one of the best rival matches in the world. Last season, FC Barcelona won all four face-to-face matches. Yamal made remarks that stimulated his opponent ahead of such a big match, and Madrid fans became angry as local media delivered his remarks.

As the controversy continued, Iniesta launched a 'support shot'. He said in a media interview, `A light joke can come out to boost the atmosphere before a major game. But it's just an external thing. What actually matters is what happens in the 90-minute match."

Iniesta understands that " are meant to add a little seasoning. You don't have to mean anything more"I definitely think there's going to be a great game," he said.

Yamal has been under fire not only for this remark, but also for other protruding remarks. Local media asked Iniesta for advice on this.




Therefore, Iniesta "Everyone has their own life. Outside of the team, I don't really like giving advice" "If I was in the team, I might be able to say it with more grounds, but..., If you feel something is not good at the club, you can discuss it internally."
