Jude Bellingham takes a jab at Lamine Yamal after El Clasico

Jude Bellingham, who shone brightly at El Clasico with a goal and an assist, caught attention by openly taking a dig at Lamine Yamal on social media, adding extra heat to the El Clasico even after the final whistle.

After losing all four encounters against Barcelona last season, Real Madrid finally restored their pride by winning the intense El Clasico at Bernabeu. Under coach Xabi Alonso’s guidance, Los Blancos played disciplined and effective football. Bellingham delivered a classy assist to Kylian Mbappe to open the scoring in the 22nd minute, then sealed the 2-1 victory himself with a close-range finish.

However, the biggest highlight of the classic match came in the final minutes when the atmosphere turned chaotic following Pedri’s red card. Players from both teams engaged in heated arguments near the sidelines, involving Bellingham, Dani Carvajal, Vinicius Junior, and young talent Lamine Yamal.

After the referee blew the final whistle, Yamal continued exchanging words with Carvajal. The Spanish player reportedly told his younger national teammate, “you talk too much,” which further escalated tensions. Thibaut Courtois and Vinicius Junior also intervened, while Raphinha, despite not being in the match squad, came down to support his teammates.

A few days earlier, Yamal had already irritated Real players by stating: “Yes, they often dive and complain a lot.” This comment came back to haunt the Barca youngster after his team’s defeat.

Shortly after the match, Bellingham posted a series of celebration photos on Instagram with a cryptic caption: “Talk is cheap. HALA MADRID SIEMPRE!!!” (It’s easy to talk. Hala Madrid forever!), widely seen as a direct reply to Yamal. The post quickly went viral, attracting millions of interactions from fans and media alike.

Barcelona will return to play on November 3rd, facing Elche in La Liga. This match is viewed as an opportunity for Yamal to regain form and help Barca recover after the bitter El Clasico loss. Meanwhile, Real Madrid continue to demonstrate comprehensive strength under Alonso, firmly leading the table and confidently pursuing the 2025/26 league title.
