Lamine Yamal and Natalie Portman Share a Laugh Over El Clasico at Ballon d'Or Ceremony

Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal added an extra layer of humor to the Ballon d'Or ceremony when he and Hollywood star Natalie Portman shared a playful moment that fans believe mocked Real Madrid’s recent 4-0 defeat in El Clasico. In a viral moment, Portman was seen holding up four fingers, a gesture that seemed to reference Barcelona's four goals, leaving both her and Yamal laughing.

Fans React to Portman’s Gesture

Barcelona supporters quickly took to social media to celebrate the moment. One fan noted, "Padme scoring the 4th of the goals we scored against Madrid in the classic," referencing Portman's role in Star Wars, while another tweeted, "Cooking Madrid on and off the field—I love this."

Yamal’s El Clasico Brilliance and Rising Stardom

Yamal had a standout game in El Clasico, even becoming the youngest player ever to score in the historic fixture, as Barcelona stretched their lead over Madrid in La Liga. At just 17, he was awarded the Kopa Trophy and praised by Ballon d'Or winner Rodri as a potential future recipient of the Ballon d'Or itself.

Gavi’s Four-Finger Taunt and Vinicius Jr.’s Response

During the match, Barcelona’s Gavi also held up four fingers to Vinicius Jr., referencing the scoreline. In response, Vinicius retorted that he was heading for the Ballon d'Or, a plan that shifted after he found out he didn’t win, leading Real Madrid to boycott the ceremony.

Next Up for Yamal and Barcelona

With Barcelona in top form, they’re set to take on Espanyol in a derby on Sunday, aiming to continue their impressive run in both La Liga and the Champions League.
