Barcelona's star footballer Lamine Yamal netted a fantastic goal for his side during the La Liga clash against arch-rivals against Real Madrid on May 11, Sunday at the iconic Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys Stadium. Yamal's cold celebration went viral immediately after that as a video of the same surfaced on social media.
With Kylian Mbappe netting the first two goals and Eric Garcia accomplishing one, Real Madrid held a 2-1 lead over the opposition. It was in the 32nd minute that the 17-year-old curled the ball from the right side as it breached past the defences of the goalkeeper. After netting the goal, Yamal taunted Madrid's fans with his celebration.

"The way the fans support us is very special" - Lamine Yamal
At a post-game chat, with Mbappe's hat-trick in vain and Barcelona winning 4-3, Yamal credited the fans for turning up in massive numbers. However, he felt Barcelona should have won it more comfortably. Yamal said, as quoted by Barca Blaugranes:
"It was a very important match to gain a considerable lead. After the Champions League match, it was very important to win, and even more so if it was against Madrid. Today is time to enjoy it. We have to correct those goals we gave away at the end. They created clear chances for us, but we’re happy. The way the fans support us is very special. It hasn’t been an easy year because we haven’t played at Camp Nou and they’ve had to travel here. We’re very grateful."
