Marcus Rashford taking sides? Man Utd loanee weighs into the comments after Lamine Yamal's brutal dig at Jude Bellingham following Barcelona's El Clasico triumph
Kylian Mbappe netted a hat-trick for Los Blancos in that contest, but Yamal delivered another superb finish - taking him to 16 goals for the season - before Raphinha bagged a brace and had the Blaugrana in front at half-time after seeing them trail 2-0 inside 14 minutes.
DID YOU KNOW?
Yamal took to social media afterwards to post a picture of himself striking Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous ‘Calma’ celebration pose. He also referred to himself as ‘Ryan’ after seeing a video of tourists failing to recognise him go viral - as he happily took a photo for them.

Yamal also made a point of including “like this one too” in his online message, which is considered to be a nod towards Real stars of past and present - Bellingham and Sergio Ramos - liking a post from Alessandro Bastoni in the wake of Barca’s agonising Champions League semi-final defeat to Inter.
WHAT NEXT?
England international Rashford weighed into Yamal’s comments, perhaps unaware of the dig being aimed at his Three Lions colleague Bellingham, and billed the 17-year-old superstar as a “Young King”.
