Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Saturday, Mourinho acknowledged the 19-year-old winger’s exceptional abilities but maintained that Real Madrid would stick to their usual tactical approach rather than restructure the team to neutralise an individual player.

“There’s no specific plan against Lamine,” Mourinho said, according to football journalist Fabrizio Romano.

“He’s a great player, great players deserve respect… but changing your plans, your structures is another. The players are all good, same as ours.”

Mourinho’s comments come as both Spanish giants prepare for a crucial La Liga encounter scheduled for 9 p.m. tonight, with Real Madrid trailing Barcelona by six points.

Naija News gathered that Real Madrid will be without Brazilian forward Vinícius Júnior, who is suspended for the highly anticipated fixture.

Barcelona enter the contest following a 4-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League, where the French side reportedly deployed close marking to restrict Yamal’s influence on the game.

Despite that setback, Barcelona have enjoyed an impressive start to their La Liga campaign, winning all nine of their opening league matches without a defeat. The Catalan club currently sit at the top of the standings with 27 points.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, have experienced a more challenging start to the season, suffering two defeats in their first nine league matches. The Spanish capital club are currently third in the table and will be eager to close the gap on their rivals with a victory in El Clásico.

News gathered that the Cameroon international was travelling along Yomra Road near Trabzon when the incident occurred, just hours after helping his team secure a 2-0 victory over Scottish side Hearts in the UEFA Conference League.

According to reports, another vehicle crashed into the rear of Onana’s £100,000 Hongqi E-HS9 SUV, pushing it into the car in front and triggering a chain-reaction collision involving three vehicles.

Emergency responders arrived at the scene, while images from the incident showed significant damage to the goalkeeper’s vehicle.

Onana was subsequently taken to hospital for medical examinations. However, doctors later cleared him after confirming that he had escaped serious injuries.

Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan confirmed the accident and reassured supporters about the goalkeeper’s condition.

The incident cut short what had otherwise been a successful evening for Onana, who had played a key role in Trabzonspor’s victory, keeping a clean sheet against Hearts.

The 30-year-old joined the Turkish club on a season-long loan from Manchester United after losing his place in the team at Old Trafford.

His move to Turkey has provided the former Ajax and Inter Milan goalkeeper with an opportunity to secure regular playing time and rebuild his confidence after struggling to maintain consistent form in the Premier League.
