Lamine Yamal has hit back at critics of Barcelona after delivering an impressive performance in El Clasico, where he contributed to a sensational 4-0 victory against Real Madrid.
What Happened?
Barcelona dominated their rivals in the first El Clasico of the season on Saturday, securing a comprehensive win. After a lackluster first half, Robert Lewandowski electrified the match with two quick goals, followed by strikes from Yamal and Raphinha. The emphatic win at the Santiago Bernabéu was a significant statement, and it allowed Yamal, just 17 years old, to address the critics who claimed Barcelona only defeated "normal teams."
What Lamine Yamal Said
In a post-match interview, Yamal confidently asserted, "We believe we are the best team in the world. They said we were beating only normal teams… now we beat Real Madrid 4-0 at their home. We've proven that we can beat anyone." His comments reflect the growing confidence within the team after such a dominant display.
The Bigger Picture
Yamal's thunderous goal marked the third of the match, and he celebrated in style, emulating Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic "Calma" gesture to silence the home fans. This victory not only enhances Barcelona's standing but also reinforces the belief among players and supporters that the team is capable of competing at the highest level.
What's Next for Barcelona?
Following their impressive wins over Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, the Barcelona squad will enjoy a well-deserved two-day break. They are set to resume training on October 29 to prepare for their upcoming La Liga match against Espanyol on November 3. With momentum on their side, Barcelona will look to continue their winning streak and solidify their position in the league.
