Barcelona’s promising young star, Lamine Yamal, shared his overwhelming happiness after his side’s exhilarating 4–3 triumph over historic rivals Real Madrid in a dramatic La Liga Matchday 35 showdown. The much-anticipated El Clásico took place at the Montjuïc Stadium, where Barcelona managed to edge out Los Blancos in a high-scoring, tension-filled clash.
The match delivered plenty of entertainment, with Barcelona claiming the vital three points courtesy of goals from Eric García, Lamine Yamal himself, and a brace from the ever-reliable Raphinha Díaz. On the other side, French sensation Kylian Mbappé showcased his brilliance with a hat-trick for Real Madrid, keeping the contest fiercely competitive until the final whistle.
Thanks to this crucial victory, Barcelona widened the gap at the top of the La Liga standings, reaching a total of 82 points. Real Madrid, meanwhile, stayed in second position with 75 points, making the title race increasingly difficult for the capital club.
In a post-match interview with Movistar, the 16-year-old Yamal expressed his delight at both his goal and the team’s spirited performance. “I’m extremely happy about this win. It was an incredible match,” he remarked. Acknowledging some defensive lapses during the game, Yamal admitted, “We made a few mistakes and gave away goals, but overall, they didn’t have too many clear chances. Now it’s time for us to enjoy this great moment.”
Turning his attention to Barcelona’s European aspirations, the young forward reaffirmed the squad’s determination. “The Champions League comes around every year, and we’ll continue working hard until we can lift that trophy. Today’s match was vital for our La Liga ambitions, especially after being knocked out of Europe,” he said.
Yamal also took a moment to commend the loyal Barcelona supporters, who turned out in numbers despite the team playing away from their iconic Camp Nou home. “Even though we weren’t at our usual stadium, the fans gave us incredible support here. We’re really grateful for that,” he added.
To conclude, the teenage sensation reflected on his emotional connection with the club and the special significance of scoring in one of football’s most famous fixtures. “Barcelona is the club I love.
Playing in El Clásico and getting on the scoresheet is a feeling that’s impossible to describe. Now, we’ll focus on Thursday’s derby against Espanyol—it’s essential to win to keep up the title push.”
