Barcelona fans online hailed superstar Lamine Yamal for his performance in their 4-3 win over Real Madrid in LaLiga on Sunday, May 11. The match marked the Catalans' fourth Clasico win over their bitter rivals.
In the first fifteen minutes, Barcelona conceded twice due to Kylian Mbappe's strikes (5' and 14'). However, goals from Eric Garcia (19'), Lamine Yamal (32'), and a brace from Raphinha (34' and 45') saw them complete their comeback in the first half itself. Mbappe completed his hat-trick after finding the net the third time in the second half (70'), making it 4-3. A fifth goal from Barcelona from Fermin Lopez during stoppage time was canceled due to a foul from Gavi in the build-up.
