Lionel Messi Speaks After Barcelona’s Victory Over Real Madrid: What He Said

The victory, under the guidance of Hansi Flick, marked a significant milestone in the season for Barcelona, which is striving to reclaim its place at the top of Spanish football. With goals from Robert Lewandowski, who scored twice, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha, the team showcased an offensive style of play that honors its history, standing strong against one of the world’s best institutions that made significant investments in this transfer market.

With this result, Barcelona, coming off a commanding 4-1 win against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, continues to affirm its impressive collective form and has taken a crucial step in the tournament. They now have 30 points in the league, extending their lead to six points ahead of Real Madrid (their closest rivals), and delivering a strong statement in pursuit of a new title.

Forward Lamine Yamal has made history by becoming the youngest scorer in the history of El Clásico at just 17 years and 105 days, after netting the third goal against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. The Catalan, who was already the youngest player to participate in a Clásico at 16 years and 107 days, has broken the previous record held by fellow Barcelona player Ansu Fati, who scored against the white team at the age of 17 years and 359 days.
