"Thumba" for Yamal, Simeone: What's the fear of a teenager?! I

Diego Simeone has not spared any stinging criticism towards Barcelona talent Lamine Yamal, following Atletico Madrid's success in securing the Champions League semi-finals.

The Argentine coach acknowledged the teenager's talent but mocked the media frenzy surrounding him. Simeone brought up his old clashes with Cristiano Ronaldo to show what it really means to be afraid of a player on the pitch. According to him, the difference between a good match and being a real "nightmare" is huge.

"He's a good boy with a lot of talent. He asked for a one-on-one and scored after 3 minutes of play. The media wants to crown him the king of Europe. The press wants me to be afraid of a teenager, just because he gives bold interviews. For a decade I had to stand on the sidelines and watch Cristiano Ronaldo score a hat-trick to eliminate my team.

"Lamine played a beautiful game, but the reality is that we will go to the semi-finals and he will go home to watch us on TV. There is a big difference between playing a good game and being a nightmare," Simeone said.
