Lamine Yamal has said he will continue to support Barcelona as long as they beat Real Madrid. The young star spoke out after another big win over their rivals in the Copa del Rey final.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-2 after extra time in the Copa del Rey final. Lamine Yamal, who is only 17, was key in the match. He assisted two goals, showing his growing influence. After the game, Yamal said that Real Madrid “can’t handle” Barcelona this season. He also said people can criticize him when he loses, but not while he’s winning.
Yamal’s comments come after three straight wins for Barcelona over Madrid: a 4-0 league win, a 5-2 Supercopa final victory, and now the cup triumph.
BIGGER CONTEXT: BARCELONA’S DOMINANCE AND YAMAL’S IMPACT
These results have shown that Barcelona is the strongest team in El Clásico this season. Under coach Hansi Flick, the team already holds the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey. Barcelona has a four-point lead in La Liga and is aiming for a treble with the Champions League semifinals ahead.
Yamal has been important throughout this season. He has scored 14 goals and assisted 24 in all competitions. His strong performances, especially in important games, have made him a regular starter and the top assist provider in La Liga, which is impressive for his age.
WHAT COMES NEXT: CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AND TITLE RACE
Barcelona will next face Inter Milan at home in the first leg of the Champions League semifinal. Yamal will make his 100th appearance for the club, an incredible milestone at just 17. In La Liga, the remaining fixtures are crucial, with Barcelona keeping a four-point lead over second place.
Another league match against Real Madrid is set for May 11, which could decide the title. With strong confidence from three straight wins over Madrid, all eyes will be on Yamal and his teammates to see if they can achieve a dream season.
