Lamine Yamal made a statement on and off the pitch following Barcelona’s 4-3 victory over Real Madrid in El Clasico. After scoring a stunning goal, the young Spanish talent fired a message at Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham and former captain Sergio Ramos.
The pair had recently liked a post from Alessandro Bastoni celebrating Inter Milan’s Champions League progress. Yamal quickly responded, posting a caption that read, “Don’t forget to like this one too.”
This playful jab wasn’t just off-field drama. Yamal’s performance in the match was equally impressive. He celebrated his goal with a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired ‘calma’ gesture and posed like Kylian Mbappe after his strike in the 32nd minute.
Barcelona’s victory extends their lead at the top of La Liga to seven points, with just three games left to play. This result comes despite their Champions League elimination, which had previously been seen as good news for Madrid’s players.
For Barcelona, however, the loss only seemed to fuel their drive, with Hansi Flick’s side now in a strong position to secure the La Liga title.
Looking ahead, Barcelona can wrap up the league title as soon as Wednesday, depending on Real Madrid’s result against Mallorca. Alternatively, a win against Espanyol the following day will also guarantee the top spot for the Catalan giants.
