Barcelona Extends LaLiga Lead After 4-3 El Clasico Win, Yamal Mocks Bellingham

Barcelona secured a thrilling 4-3 victory over Real Madrid in the El Clasico, extending their LaLiga lead to seven points with just three matches remaining. Lamine Yamal, who scored in the match, took a pointed swipe at Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham on Instagram, referencing Bellingham's and former Real legend Sergio Ramos's social media activity celebrating Barcelona's recent Champions League elimination by Inter Milan. Yamal's caption, "Mm, Ryan vaccinated (like this one too)," alluded to a previous prank about his name and served as a retort to Bellingham's actions, drawing strong reactions from fans. Barcelona's coach Hansi Flick praised the team's resilience after a tough week, emphasizing the importance of the win despite defensive areas needing improvement. The result not only solidified Barcelona's position as LaLiga leaders but also put them on the brink of a domestic double, having already won the Copa del Rey. The rivalry between the clubs was highlighted both on the pitch and through these social media interactions, adding extra tension to an already high-stakes season finale.
