Barcelona defender Martinez: Lewandowski and Yamal are fine

Barcelona defender Inigo Martinez insists there's no issues between Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal.

Lewandowski has been slammed in the Spanish media for his treatment of Yamal during victory over Alaves.

But at his La Roja presser today, Inigo said: "There are a thousand reprimands within a game. Lewandowski already explained it. The team is very close and the relationship is spectacular. There is a great team and we want to stay out of that type of controversy."

The summer arrival from Athletic Bilbao also said: "Each coach gives you different things. Xavi trusted me from the first minute. I have waited for the opportunity and I have taken advantage of them. I try to improve day by day to try to get into the XI and, for the moment, I am getting it. We must continue to improve and always think about the team.

"Every player who comes new is well received. This team has extraordinary human people. It is seen from the first minute how they integrate well. You have to convey that to them. As many of us as the mister. This has changed a lot compared to when I came who was very young, which cost more."
