‘From a human perspective I can’t stand him’ – Adil Rami’s expletive-laden tirade against Lamine Yamal | OneFootball

Former France international Adil Rami (39) has sparked widespread backlash after publicly insulting Barcelona’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal (18) during an appearance on his Twitch channel, transcribed by RMC Sport. The 2018 World Cup winner unleashed a stream of crude and explicit comments directed at the Spain international, accusing him of arrogance and poor off-field behaviour.Speaking live on Twitch, Rami claimed he could no longer tolerate Yamal. “Football-wise, nothing to say. He’s a cracking talent. He’ll win Ballons d’Or, Champions Leagues, everything. But on a human level—f*** your mother,” Rami said, also adding: “I don’t care about Barça fans or Lamine Yamal fans. I’ve had enough.”Rami, who represented Marseille, Sevilla and Lille during a lengthy club career, was particularly critical of Yamal’s demeanour during a recent meeting with Cristiano Ronaldo and his off-pitch conduct. “The way he shook Cristiano Ronaldo’s hand pissed me off. That’s where it started,” Rami explained. “Then he made videos talking about him—I didn’t like that. Then I saw his whole ‘pants down’ thing… That whole business of pulling your shorts down — that comes from prison culture in the US and Mexico, and it was done by people who wanted to get f****. There are things that raise red flags.”“He throws parties, and people are already talking about his parties. Wait a bit, you f****! He shows up, takes the No. 10 shirt, and starts rocking all this bling with big diamonds… He thinks he’s American. It’s f* annoying.”Yamal, who turned 18 earlier this month, has been the subject of media scrutiny in Spain after a lavish birthday party reportedly featured actors with dwarfism, prompting controversy over the player’s public image. The teenager responded to critics by stating, “I’m just enjoying life.”GFFN | George Boxall
