“Me, here,” said Lamine Yamal with his finger, pointing first at himself, and then at the grass, the stage. Then, in case there was any doubt, in case there was someone who was still not clear, in case He had seen enough in the white stands, he turned and pointed his name on his back.
The winger, the youngest of everyone on the pitch, was summing up the game perfectly. He, and before Lewandowski, twice. Him, and then Raphinha, of Vaseline. He, and his Barça, had assaulted the Real Madrid fiefdom. They silenced it to calm the ears of those neighbors who hate decibels.
33 goals this season
Flick’s new trident felt “the fear in the eyes of my enemy,” as Chris Martin sings
Didn’t they say that concerts were no longer held in the white stadium? Because what a second part for the Blaugrana. What a recital. What a show. From the solo singers and from the entire group, well tuned. The bells of Jerusalem rang and the choruses of the Roman chariots that appear in the famous Coldplay song, soundtrack of 2009, the perfect year of Guardiola’s Barcelona, were heard.
Long live the new life of Barça. Long live the lead. Long live Flick’s trident. “I felt the fear in the eyes of my enemy,” Chris Martin sings in that same song. And that same feeling of power was experienced after Barcelona went 0-2 on the scoreboard. You could smell the terror of the local fans, who chewed on the tragedy, who assumed the worst, who saw it close, who looked into the abyss of another historic victory.
Great headers
In the house that saw Santillana, Hugo Sánchez and Zamorano, Barcelona’s nine rose above Rüdiger and Militão
At the Santiago Bernabéu, for years David Villa was called the usurper. They did not like that the Asturian wore the 7 in the national team, they considered him Raúl’s property. The double by Robert Lewandowski, a Pole from Warsaw, also made void the chant with that nationality with which they refer to the Catalans.
At 36 years old, he still had things to do. I could still contribute. His scoring tally can continue to increase. Lewandowski was smarter than Mendy when he took advantage of a through pass from Casadó to stand in front of Lunin and beat him down low. He had only scored at the Bernabéu once, with Bayern and from a penalty.
Lamine Yamal and Raphinha
The Pole could have scored the hat-trick but hit the post. Yes, his left-handed partners got it right, with their right
But while Madrid’s forwards fell offside again and again and Mbappé saw how he was disallowed, not one, but two goals due to offside, the top scorer repeated. In the house that saw Santillana, Hugo Sánchez and Zamorano, three great headers, Barcelona’s number nine rose, perfectly timed the jump and turned his neck to send the ball into the net. Double in three minutes.
And he was still able to score the third, when Raphinha left him with an empty goal, but he shot against the post. He didn’t get it right. But Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, the two left-handers, did it later with their right. The three forwards have scored 33 goals. Long live the lead. Mirror, sword and shield of Flick’s new Barça.
Of record
Lamine Yamal, the youngest to score
Lamine Yamal, who played his first three classics last season, beat Real Madrid for the first time in his career and by scoring 0-3 he became the youngest player to score in a classic. At 17 years and 105 days old, the Barça pearl surpasses his teammate Ansu Fati in precocity, who in 2020 did so at the age of 17 years and 359 days at the Camp Nou (1-3).
