The Spanish newspaper "Sport" reported that Lamine Yamal, Barcelona's winger, outperforms Kylian Mbappe in their direct encounters ahead of the anticipated El Clasico against Real Madrid, despite recently returning from injury.

Yamal has not yet reached his full potential, although he has scored one goal and provided two assists, while Mbappe continues to shine with Real Madrid this season, scoring 15 goals in 12 matches, including 10 goals in La Liga.

The record of their direct encounters indicates Yamal's overwhelming superiority, as the two players have met in 8 matches, with Barcelona's winger winning 7 matches compared to Mbappe's single victory, including 4 El Clasicos, all of which ended in favor of Barcelona. Yamal has scored fewer goals than Mbappe in their direct encounters, with 6 goals compared to 8, while both players have equal assists, each providing 4.

The upcoming El Clasico presents a new opportunity for comparison between the stars of both teams and to end Mbappe's curse against Yamal, amid fan expectations that the match will be a decisive and exciting confrontation on the pitch.
