On Saturday, October 26, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid in the highly anticipated La Liga clash by 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu with the help of four goals in the second half. During this memorable game for Barcelona, Lamine Yamal became the youngest goal-scorer in the history of El Clasico, and he enjoyed the goal while replicating the “Calma” celebration made famous by Cristiano Ronaldo, adding insult to injury for the Real Madrid fans in their own den.
After the goalless first half in El Clasico, which saw Kylian Mbappe getting caught off side on multiple occasions, Real Madrid were shredded to pieces in the second half by Barcelona. Robert Lewandowski netted a brace within three minutes at the start of the second half before Lamine Yamal got his name on the scoresheet for the first-time in the history of El Clasico in the 77th minute.

Captain Raphinha netted the fourth goal in the 84th minute, to make it 4-0 in favour of Barcelona in the enemy territory, a lead which they kept till the end of the contest. Hansi Flick’s men also became the first team in years to defeat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga, halting their 42-game unbeaten streak, which meant that they took a massive six points lead at the top of the league after 10 matches.
At 17 years and 106 days, Lamine Yamal became the youngest goal-scorer in the history of El Clasico, beating the previous record held by Alfonso Navarro of Barcelona at 17 years and 356 days. After an epic triumph, the teenager was quoted as saying, “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.”
“I want to say: Visca Barca! Let’s go and win La Liga, we go for the title now,” remarked Lamine Yamal, trolling Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr.
