Barcelona dominates this season’s Clasico
Yamal scored Barca’s second goal with a brilliant angled shot into the corner from just inside the area, as they came back from two early Kylian Mbappe strikes to lead 4-2 at halftime.
Mbappé completed his hat trick after the break to set up a tense finish, but Barça held firm at the Olympic Stadium.
The win puts the Catalan club seven points clear at the top of LaLiga, with just three games remaining.
Barca lost all three Clasicos last season, but have beaten Madrid four times since the start of this campaign.
Flick’s side has defeated Madrid twice in LaLiga, as well as in both the Spanish Supercopa and Copa del Rey finals.
Barcelona does not fear Real Madrid
“It doesn’t feel good when Madrid beat you,” Yamal told ESPN after the victory.
“It’s true we didn’t beat them last year, we suffered, and this year we gave everything to turn it around.”
“We don’t have that fear of them that maybe other teams have against them. So we gave it our all. We feel like we’re better than every other team, that’s the mentality we go out with.”
“I think that’s how you have to play against them. You have to show up like you’re the better team and enjoy yourself, that’s it.”
Meanwhile, Yamal kept a promise to swap shirts with former Barca forward Thierry Henry, who joined the club in 2007 — the same year the teenager was born.
During a recent interview, Henry asked Yamal for his shirt, and the Barça winger agreed, on the condition that he received one in return.
