Yamine Lamal: From being Sergio Ramos’ mascot to piling misery on his Sevilla side at 16 (VIDEO)
It is hard to imagine Lamine Yamal was once Sergio Ramos' mascot at the El Clasico in 2016 as the teenage sensation ran rings around the Real Madrid legend, forcing him into scoring a calamitous own goal during Barcelona’s 1-0 win over Sevilla on Friday night.
Outrage Amongst Fans
According to reports from the Sun, Jude's penchant for charming the ladies ultimately led to his downfall.
Despite the uproar, QPR has remained tight-lipped on the matter. A spokesman for the club declined to comment, leaving fans to speculate on Jude's fate.
A dedicated Twitter account for the cat, run by the club, has been conspicuously silent for a month, adding fuel to the fire of uncertainty.
Jude the Cat's legacy at Loftus Road stretches back to the days of a black cat named Jude, considered a good luck charm by supporters.
Fans have also reacted to the sacking of the mascot as they demand that the club 'bring back the cat' because he was the only thing worth watching at the West London ground.
Additionally, several people complained that he was trying it on with the ladies more than cheering on the lads on the pitch, the source added.
He would always be dancing with them and then trying to get them to give him their number, lamented another insider.
While the club has refrained from addressing the controversy directly, their website suggests that a new mascot will make an appearance at QPR's game with Sheffield Wednesday today. It seems Jude's time in the spotlight may have come to an end.
