Barcelona’s teenage prodigy, Lamine Yamal, etched his name in football history during a 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid on October 26, 2024, at the Santiago Bernabeu. At just 17 years and 105 days old, Yamal became the youngest-ever scorer in El Clasico, breaking Ansu Fati’s previous record (17 years, 359 days).
Yamal’s clinical strike, blasting the ball past goalkeeper Andriy Lunin to put Barcelona 3-0 up, secured a dominant win for the Blaugrana and showcased the teen’s growing influence. The goal not only ensured victory but added another milestone to the rising star’s already impressive career.
Robert Lewandowski, named man of the match, netted two goals in the rout, cementing Barcelona’s position atop La Liga with a six-point lead. Yamal, however, stole the spotlight with his goal, bold celebrations, and cheeky post-match antics.
Taunts and Celebrations: Yamal’s Playful Rivalry with Madrid
Yamal delighted Barça fans and taunted Madrid supporters by mimicking Vinicius Jr.’s signature dance after scoring, joined by teammate Alejandro Balde. The teenager took it further by pointing to his name on the back of his shirt—echoing Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous gesture from his time at Camp Nou.
“It’s always fun hearing our fans louder than theirs, even in their own stadium,” Yamal said, beaming as he proudly showed off his braces, a playful promise he had made to friends.
A Bright Future Under Hansi Flick
Coach Hansi Flick praised his team’s strong start, emphasizing the importance of staying grounded: “We played a fantastic match today, but there’s always room for improvement. It’s a long journey, and we need to keep our momentum.”
Flick’s Barcelona has now won 12 of their last 14 matches across all competitions, signaling a promising new era under his leadership. With stars like Yamal flourishing and the team in top form, the Blaugrana have firmly set their sights on reclaiming domestic and European glory.
Barcelona’s next challenge is a derby clash against Espanyol, but for now, the focus is on recovery and celebrating one of the most memorable El Clasico performances in recent years.
