Copa del Rey 2025 final: Lamine Yamal's four-word post-match reaction to Real Madrid sparks fan frenzy; see here
Finally, in a nail-biting finale, Barcelona won the Copa del Rey since 2021 after beating Real Madrid 3-2 on Saturday night. The celebration for Barcelona doesn't seem to have just begun, and Lamine Yamal, the teenage winger, has once again reacted to Real Madrid's loss, which has left fans in a frenzy.
Meanwhile, the 17-year-old was a key cog for Barcelona in their victory over Real Madrid as he turned out to be the architect of the first two goals, setting up Pedri and Ferran Torres. Lamal, in his post-match comment, said, 'Even if we concede one goal, no problem. Even if we concede two goals, it's still no problem.'
'This year, they simply can't beat us. We've proven that. I'm really happy. Visca Barça!" he added.

La Blaugrana is one step closer towards a potential treble in 2025
After Barcelona's win in the Copa del Rey title in Sevilla, La Blaugrana have taken another step closer towards a potential treble this season. On April 30, Barcelona hosts Inter Milan in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-finals with a four-point lead at the top of La Liga.
On the other hand, in the upcoming match scheduled for May 11, Flick's charges take on Real Madrid once more in 2025. However, despite Real Madrid's impressive comebacks during the final, Lamine Yamal had a straightforward message for his rivals at full-time.
Lamine Yamal's post-match message leaves fans in a frenzy
The 17-year-old found the net in the first two matches, and while he didn't score in the recent final, he provided two key assists for Pedri and Ferran Torres.
As well as that, he also continues to top the La Liga assists chart this season with 12, ahead of teammate Raphinha on eight. These are some of the reasons why Yamal always hears from his fans, but his post-match comment against Real Madrid leaves fans in a frenzy.
One user on Reddit said, "He knows the truth".
"Let the baby goat speak his shit. Both his passes for goals were impeccable," another said.
"Ha Ha … barely 18 but knows how to trash talk. Just hope Madrid fans sees this 🤣"
"Lamine yamal at 17 and man already bagged many cups".

"This kid having his way with Real Madrid 😃 . Lamine Yamal is different man!," another user on X said.

Lamine Yamal ‘motivated' by Cristiano Ronaldo challenge in Nations League final: ‘I want to play to prove who I am'
In footballing terms, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lamine Yamal are generations apart. One is at the back end of a historic and long, legendary career, while the other stands just beyond the starting line of his own that promises to be just as great. But when Portugal and Spain meet in an all-Iberian UEFA Nations League Final at the Allianz Arena in Munich, these two chapters of football will share a pitch, for the first and likely one of the only times. Ahead of that big contest between these two in-form teams in Germany, Lamine Yamal spoke about the prospect of facing a football legend in Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time in his career. However, despite being only 17 years old, Lamine did not look overawed by the prospect. 'Clearly he is a legend of football, and we all respect him a lot,' said the FC Barcelona superstar. 'However, I have to do my job, which is winning, and that is that.' Lamine isn't one who shies away from the big stage, having led Spain to lifting the Euros in 2024, and Barcelona to a La Liga title this year. He had another ridiculously good performance in the Nations League semifinal against France, scoring twice, including a brilliant second goal. Ronaldo, however, is a man who knows all about scoring at this stage, despite his ageing legs. Ronaldo scored Portugal's opener against Germany, and continues to be their captain and talisman. Lamine pointed out that the sub-story of him and Ronaldo is secondary to what this match is, which is a chance to add silverware for both of these teams, in a European international final. Spain are defending champions, having lifted this title in 2023, while Portugal were the inaugural champions in 2019. 'Of course, it is a special game, a final against a great team. That gives me extra motivation. These are the kind of games I want to play to prove who I am,' said a level-headed but competitive Lamine, who is seeking even more silverware this season after his successes with club and country alike. Spain and Portugal's battle to see who wins their second Nations League title could very well come down to which of their cross-generational superstars can turn up the most — the experience and the title-winning pedigree of Ronaldo or the immeasurable promise and spark of Lamine?

Soccer-Yamal made big Ballon d'Or statement against France, says De la Fuente
June 6 - Lamine Yamal's match-winning performance against France in the semi-finals of the Nations League on Thursday has underlined his Ballon d'Or credentials, said Spain manager Luis de la Fuente. The 17-year-old Barcelona sensation lifted Spain to a thrilling 5-4 win over France by scoring twice, which sent the holders through to their third successive Nations League final where they will face Iberian neighbours Portugal. The contest to lift the prestigious golden ball trophy in September is widely seen as one between Yamal and France forward Ousmane Dembele, with both playing crucial roles for their clubs and countries this season. "Yamal has made a statement tonight and shown that he should win the Ballon d'Or," De la Fuente told broadcaster RTVE. "He's the best player in the world and, in my opinion, of course, he deserves to win the Ballon d'Or." The 28-year-old Dembele, a former Barcelona man, can boast of the Champions League, Ligue 1, French Cup and French Super Cup titles this campaign, while Yamal has LaLiga, Spanish Cup and Spanish Super Cup to his name. "I always say the same thing to mum, that I try to give my all," Yamal said. "That is what motivates me and what gets me up in the morning. It is why I play football. It's always best to speak on the pitch. "Dembele is a great player, we saw that in the Champions League, but I am happy that we're the ones in the final." The nominees for the 2025 edition of the Ballon d'Or award, which covers August 1-July 31, will be announced at the start of August, with the ceremony taking place on September 22.
