Barcelona sensation hits back at Real Madrid superstar over past comment | OneFootball

Barcelona players enjoyed a memorable night at Camp Nou on Sunday as they secured the La Liga title with a win against arch-rivals Real Madrid.

The players were able to celebrate against their fiercest foes, and none enjoyed it more than Lamine Yamal.

Even though the star has been ruled out until the end of the season, and did not participate against Real Madrid, he was present in the celebrations, notably meeting Olivia Rodrigo.

After the celebrations, Yamal went on to take a swipe at Jude Bellingham on Instagram.

He posted a story of himself celebrating one of the goals from Sunday’s thrashing, accompanied by the words “Talk is cheap” and seven crying emojis.

The origin of the feud

The message was a direct response to Jude Bellingham, who had used the exact same phrase back in October following Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory over Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bellingham’s original post had come at a particularly charged moment.

Just before that first Clasico of the season, Yamal had appeared on a Kings League programme, where he was asked whether Porcinos represented Real Madrid to him. His response, delivered in a joking tone, was: “Yes, they steal, they complain…”

The comment reached the Real Madrid dressing room and caused significant tension in the days that followed.

When Bellingham posted “Talk is cheap. Hala Madrid always!” after the match, it was widely interpreted as a direct dig at the Barcelona teenager.

Months later, with Barcelona lifting the title by beating Real Madrid, Yamal did not miss out on the opportunity to respond.
