Lamine Yamal trolls Cristiano Ronaldo! Barcelona sensation copies Real Madrid icon's famous celebration after netting excellent goal in Clasico demolition at Santiago Bernabeu
Lamine Yamal copied Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic "Calma" celebration after netting a sensational goal against Real Madrid in El Clasico.
Hansi Flick's side ran riot at the Santiago Bernabeu as they put four past the hosts in what was a comprehensive display of executing training ground tactics to perfection. After a goalless first half, the Blaugrana changed gears and ripped apart a feeble Madrid defence with Robert Lewandowski leading the charge with a two-minute brace followed by a goal each from Yamal and Raphinha.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Yamal pulled off an incredible finish, beating Andriy Lunin at the front post to hand Barcelona a 3-0 lead. After finding the net, he took out a leaf from Ronaldo's book and performed the famous “Calma, I’m here” celebration in a gesture as if to calm down the crowd.
WHAT YAMAL SAID
After the convincing victory, Yamal rallied his team-mates to go for the La Liga championship and said: "I want to say: Visca Barca! Let’s go and win La Liga, we go for it now”.
DID YOU KNOW?
At 17 years and 106 days, Yamal became the youngest scorer in El Clasico. He surpassed the record set by former Barcelona player Alfonso Navarro who found the net at 17 years and 356 days.
