(VIDEO) Scandal in Barcelona: what happened between Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal?

This Sunday Barcelona got a needed 2-1 victory against Alaves in Montjuic that allowed them to calm down a little bit the critics. The last few weeks have been difficult for them since the 'Clasico' defeat against Real Madrid, as fans and the press have been unhappy with the level of the team. And all that got worse last week, when they lost against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.

As if that wasn't enough, against Alaves things didn't start well for Los Blaugranas: after 20 seconds they were already losing 1-0 due to a quick and unexpected goal by Samu. During the first half they were unable to react and went to the break amidst the whistles of the fans.

But then things changed thanks to Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker scored the equaliser in the first minutes of the second half with a beautiful header after a cross from Jules Koundé, and then he grabbed the winner from the spot. However, it was not his goals that attracted the most attention, but an ugly attitude towards a teammate of his.

During the match, Lewandowski became very angry with Lamine Yamal on a play in which the 16-year-old chose to shoot at goal instead of sending a cross into the box. This caused the wrath of Robert, who reproached him for his decision with loud shouts and gestures of annoyance. But the worst came later, when Yamal approached him to shake hands and the center-forward ignored him.

He was criticized for this

After the match, many people expressed their displeasure with Robert Lewandowski's attitude. Former Barcelona player Gerard Lopez opined that it was "unacceptable". While RAC-1 journalist Joan Maria Pou said, "That's not worthy of a good leader."
