Lamine Yamal scored the goal that clinched a domestic treble for Barcelona and revealed a bit about his character during the celebrations.
Lamine Yamal Leads With Maturity as Barcelona Clinch La Liga at Espanyol — Again
Barcelona are La Liga champions once more — and fittingly, they sealed the title at the same ground where they did it just two seasons ago: Espanyol’s RCDE Stadium.
Just like in 2023, the result confirmed Barca’s domestic supremacy. But this time, with Hansi Flick at the helm, the post-match scenes were far more controlled — thanks in part to one young man setting the example: Lamine Yamal.
The 17-year-old phenom was instrumental in Barca’s 2–0 victory over ten-man Espanyol, a win that mathematically eliminated Real Madrid from title contention. But it wasn’t just his on-field brilliance that drew praise — it was his composure off it.
🔵🔴 “Don’t celebrate on the pitch,” Flick warned.
Barça boss Hansi Flick, aware of the chaos that unfolded after the 2023 title celebrations at the same stadium — when Espanyol fans stormed the pitch and clashed with jubilant Barca players — instructed his squad not to celebrate on Espanyol’s turf.
Only one player visibly followed that command to the letter: Lamine Yamal.
“Hansi Flick demanded the players to not celebrate on the Espanyol pitch,” posted Barca Universal. “Only Lamine Yamal followed his orders. The rest of the squad continued their celebrations after the final whistle.”
Other reports clarified that a fight broke out on the pitch, which delayed some players from leaving, but fans on social media were quick to applaud Yamal’s discipline — and have some fun with it.
“Na Lamine Yamal definitely needed the toilet,” joked one fan.
“We’re about to see a completely new 11 in the next game… If Flick tells you something, you listen,” another posted.
⚡ A Star on the Rise — With His Head on Straight
At just 17, Lamine Yamal continues to amaze not only with his feet but with his maturity. With the title secured and the football world watching, he was a standout not just for his performance, but for his restraint and leadership in a tense environment.
Barcelona’s future looks bright — and Yamal, clearly, isn’t just part of it. He’s ready to lead it.
Lamine Yamal starred once again as Barcelona clinched the La Liga title with a 2–0 win over their city rivals on hostile ground.
The 17-year-old opened the scoring shortly after halftime with a brilliant solo effort, reaffirming his status as one of the season’s breakout talents. Espanyol’s hopes took another blow when Leandro Cabrera was shown red, reducing the home side to ten men.
Yamal’s stunning campaign now boasts eight goals and 13 assists in 33 league matches — a remarkable leap from his previous season’s output.
Hansi Flick, in his debut season at the helm, now adds a La Liga title to his managerial resume, having already claimed two Bundesliga crowns with Bayern Munich — including the historic 2019–20 treble, capped by a Champions League victory over PSG.
Fermín López sealed the result in stoppage time, putting the final touch on a night that confirmed Barcelona’s domestic supremacy.
