Lamine Yamal Celebrates Atletico's Win Over Real Madrid

Lamine Yamal was nowhere near the pitch for the Madrid derby, but he still found a way to make his presence felt.

The Barcelona teenager followed Atletico Madrid’s 2-1 win over Real Madrid in the seventh round of La Liga and, once the final whistle went, he headed straight to social media.

There he found a post from Atletico defender Marc Pubill. The upload showed several images from the game, including one striking frame of Pubill going into a challenge with Kylian Mbappe.

Yamal’s reply? No words. Just a cluster of emojis dropped under the post, a short, sharp reaction that left little doubt about how much he enjoyed seeing Real Madrid beaten.

For Barcelona, the result was more than just a rival’s bad night. It was a gift.

Seven games into the season, the Catalans sit alone at the top of La Liga. Atletico’s victory pushed them up to second on 16 points, while Real Madrid slipped to fourth with 15. The derby tilted the table, widening the gap between Barcelona and their historic rivals.

So when Yamal reacted online, fans noticed. A young Barcelona star, celebrating Atletico’s win that strengthens his own club’s position and dents Real Madrid’s early-season push.
