Lamine Yamal neither forgets nor forgives. The FC Barcelona youth player scored one of the four goals in El Clásico and celebrated it in style, knowing how important it was in beating Real Madrid. He did it in true Cristiano Ronaldo style, asking for calm and clearly telling the fans who came to Santiago Bernabéu: "I'm here."
The youth-team player began to ask for calm, looking at the fans, pointing at the Barça crest and then pointing at the field. The gesture was clear: Lamine Yamal has arrived to stay and Santiago Bernabéu must know it. He is ready to become their next black beast, as Messi was years ago.
Not only did he do this, before finishing, Lamine Yamal also turned around and pointed to the back of his jersey, showing his '19' to the Real Madrid fans.
Lamine Yamal rejects Real Madrid: always Barça
Florentino Pérez has been trying for several months to turn Lamine Yamal into his new Figo, but, so far, he hasn't succeeded. And the truth is that it doesn't look like he will be able to do so, because the Barcelona player has already promised eternal love to the club on repeated occasions.
Speaking ahead of the Clasico against Real Madrid, Lamine Yamal was clear that he was in the best possible position to put an end to any rumors that might arise. "I would like to be remembered in the history of Barça as a legend," said the young Barça winger.
Lamine Yamal continued: "Obviously, it would be an amazing thing to have a legacy and stay in the minds of young people."
Plan for Lamine Yamal at Barça
As a minor, Lamine Yamal was only able to sign a three-year contract with Barcelona, until 2026. The plan is clear: during the summer of 2025 (when he will be 18 years old) the intention is to sign him on a longer contract, until 2030, with a significant salary increase.
Not only will his status on the salary table change, but also the number on his back. He is breaking records with the number 19 and the intention is for him to become the definitive heir to Messi.
Lamine Yamal has shown that he is more than ready and Barça are looking to make a killing next season. The number 10 for the best of them all. The Spaniard is clear: he will go all in with the blaugrana, he will not succumb to Florentino or his plans to turn him into the modern Figo.
In the capital they already know it. Lamine Yamal is here, at Barça, and they will have to suffer it at Santiago Bernabéu.
