Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal became the youngest scorer in El Clasico history as his team routed Real Madrid 4-0 at the Bernabeu.
The visiting side handled a balanced first half before bursting into the second, with Robert Lewandowski’s quick-fire brace putting Barcelona firmly in control. The La Liga leaders held their ground and extended their lead in the 77th minute, when Yamal sprinted down the right and finished powerfully at Andriy Lunin’s near post. At just 17 years and 105 days old, he broke a 77-year record held by Alfonso Navarro, who scored at 17 years and 365 days for Barca against Madrid in 1947.
Yamal’s historic strike wasn’t the end of Real’s troubles. More defensive lapses allowed Raphinha to slip in behind and lift a shot over Lunin, sealing the 4-0 result and delivering a crushing blow to the reigning Spanish and European champions.

Barca’s spirits were high, especially after manager Hansi Flick had guided them to a 4-1 win over his former club Bayern Munich just days earlier. Far from overwhelmed, Barcelona secured a crucial win, stretching their lead to six points ahead of Madrid at the top of La Liga after 11 games. Though they have won just one La Liga title in the 2020s under Xavi Hernandez in 2022/23, this victory at the Bernabeu marked an important step forward for the club and was their first at Madrid’s home ground since 2022.
