“We Don’t Fear Them”: Lamine Yamal’s Bold Claim After Barça’s Fourth Win Over Real Madrid

Fresh off his stellar El Clásico 2025 performance, 17-year-old Lamine Yamal made headlines not just for his goal but for his fearless words: “Barcelona don’t fear Madrid like other teams.”

In a post-match interview, Yamal was emphatic:

“We don’t have that fear of them that maybe other teams have against them. We gave it our all. We feel like we’re better than every other team—that’s the mentality we go out with.”
Yamal’s statement came after Barcelona’s 4-3 win over Real Madrid, their fourth consecutive Clásico victory this season across all competitions. The result leaves the Blaugrana within touching distance of the La Liga title, sparking celebrations and debates in equal measure.

 
Yamal vs Mbappé: The Battle of Generations

The latest Barça vs Madrid rivalry clash also featured a showdown between two of world football’s brightest lights: Yamal vs Mbappé. While Kylian Mbappé bagged a stunning hat-trick for Madrid, it was Yamal’s goal vs Real Madrid—a curler into the top corner—that leveled the game at 2-2 and sparked Barça’s comeback.

Barcelona fans have lauded Yamal not only as a rising star, but also as a symbol of the club’s renewed identity under Hansi Flick. The German coach praised the teenager post-match, saying,

“Believe me, he’s definitely not a kid. His composure and decision-making are beyond his age.”
 
Fearless Barça Eyeing the Title

Barcelona’s bold mentality, highlighted by Yamal’s Real Madrid comments, reflects a changing tide in Spanish football. Under Flick’s guidance, a new generation of talent—including Yamal, Fermín López, and Pau Cubarsí—is rising to the challenge and delivering results on the biggest stage.

With only three matches left, Barcelona’s La Liga title race is theirs to lose. The team will look to carry their fearless momentum into the season's final stretch, starting with a crucial derby against Espanyol.

As Real Madrid lose their fourth Clásico this season, questions loom over their psychological edge—and whether Barcelona’s new era has already begun.
