"Calm down": Yamal's bold message to Mbappé and Ronaldo
Lamine Yamal continues to impress despite his young age. While he is not even an adult, the Spaniard has had a superb season, with 7 goals and 14 assists in La Liga, and may soon see himself crowned with a title with FC Barcelona . The Catalans are not far off after the very important victory against Real Madrid (4-3) which allows them to take a 7-point lead over the Madrilenians with 3 matches remaining.
A match where Lamine Yamal once again showed his talent, scoring with a stunning curling shot that left Thibaut Courtois stoic. A crucial goal in the championship race that the young Spaniard didn't fail to celebrate. Near the corner flag, he signed off on a celebration that combined Cristiano Ronaldo 's "calma," which has become legendary since 2012, and Kylian Mbappé's crossed-arms gesture. The Spanish star is clearly marking his territory with this double provocation. It must be said that he has been unstoppable this season: 16 goals and 24 assists in all competitions, or 40 contributions in 100 matches.
A bold message to the two Real Madrid players that has set social media and TV stations ablaze. Speaking on TNT Sports, Rio Ferdinand made no secret of his admiration for the Catalan phenomenon: " What he's doing is simply incredible. At 17, he's already dominating big matches. He's ahead of Ronaldo, he's ahead of Messi. He's an artist with a maturity and confidence that's rare at his age ."
