Yamal’s Clásico masterclass
Lamine Yamal once again proved he is no ordinary teenager as his stunning goal and all-around brilliance inspired Barcelona to a dramatic 4-3 victory over Real Madrid, moving the Catalans seven points clear at the top of LaLiga.
The 17-year-old’s clinical finish inside the area capped a relentless comeback from two goals down, with Flick lauding his protégé’s “high-quality” contribution that “brought us back into the match”.
Flick’s glowing assessment
“He’s not a kid,” declared Flick post-match, emphasizing Yamal’s composure and self-belief.
“He has the confidence to take responsibility, and his intelligence on the pitch is remarkable.”
The German coach highlighted Yamal’s ability to dictate tempo, noting his near-assists that could have sealed a landslide victory but for wayward finishing by teammates like Raphinha.
Title on the horizon
Barça now need just two points to secure their second consecutive LaLiga title, with a trip to Espanyol on Thursday offering a golden opportunity.
The win also extended their historic dominance over Madrid to four victories this season, including Supercopa and Copa del Rey finals.
Training room humor
Off the pitch, Yamal continues to captivate. Earlier this week, a viral video showed him playfully provoking teammates during training, leading to a lighthearted “mob attack” after he jokingly flipped them off.
Such camaraderie mirrors his on-field chemistry with Gavi and Fermín López, who celebrated his goal with a trio embrace captured by Getty Images.
Social media repartee
Yamal also took a playful jab at Madrid stars Jude Bellingham and Sergio Ramos, who had previously mocked his Champions League exit.
His Instagram post—captioned “Ryan vaccinated (go ahead and like this one too)” alongside Clásico highlights—was a direct riposte to their trolling, referencing his ongoing joke about using the alias “Ryan”.
Contract talks and future plans
With his stock soaring, Barça are preparing to reward Yamal with a new contract worth €10 million annually and a €1 billion release clause, set to be finalized when he turns 18 in July.
Flick hinted at further leadership roles: “He’s already a leader in how he carries himself. The future is bright.”
As the season hurtles toward a climax, Yamal’s blend of fearless play and infectious charisma has made him a fan favorite—and a nightmare for Madrid, who now trail their rivals in both form and vision for the future.
