Two leading members of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona have long put their differences aside, to build a close friendship.
That’s according to **[Diario Sport](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/lamine-yamal-robert-lewandowski-vuelven-amigos-inseparables-barcelona-120538921)**, who point towards Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal as the pair in question.
It is common knowledge that, in the months following youngster Lamine’s explosion onto the first-team scene in Catalunya’s capital, he and teammate Lewandowski did not always see eye to eye.
One particular exchange between the pair during an outing last season caused quite a stir, after the latter refused the hand of his teammate following Lamine’s failure to pass him the ball during a Barcelona attack.
As alluded to above, though, in the time since, the two Blaugrana stars have built a close bond.
Lamine and Lewandowski have several times during pre-season gone viral online, owing to footage of ‘play fighting’ in training.
To the point that, as per a report from Sport, the duo can now be considered ‘great friends’ on and off the pitch alike.
