Former Real Madrid midfielder Guti has taken aim at Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, criticizing his outfit choice during a recent Spain national team press conference. The 17-year-old showed up with his hat worn backwards, a look Guti felt was inappropriate for such a professional setting.

Speaking on El Chiringuito TV, Guti said, “I didn’t like seeing Yamal at a press conference with his cap turned backwards. That’s something you do on vacation or in your personal life—not when representing your club or country.” He added that the blame shouldn’t fall on Yamal alone but on those around him who failed to correct the gesture. “It’s not his fault. The people around him should’ve said ‘no way’. He just did what he wanted.”

Yamal has had a solid run with Spain, scoring three goals in seven appearances and helping them reach the UEFA Nations League final. Though Spain lost to Portugal on penalties after a 2-2 draw, the young winger played a key role throughout the tournament. He also played a major part in Barcelona’s successful season, where the club secured the LaLiga title, Copa del Rey, and the Supercopa de España. However, in the final against Portugal, he struggled to make an impact as Nuno Mendes kept him in check.
