Lamine Yamal's Barcelona goal celebration humiliates Vinicius Junior in El Clasico

Carlo Ancelotti’s star-studded team endured a night to remember for all the wrong reasons as they suffered a humiliating defeat on their home turf, falling even further behind the Liga leaders.

Kylian Mbappe, in particular, fluffed his lines, missing a number of excellent chances and straying offside on a farcical number of occasions.

Having been a touch fortunate to be on level terms at the break, Hansi Flick’s in-form team put on a second half masterclass.

Two goals from Robert Lewandowski put the visitors in a commanding position and as Real pushed for a way back into the contest they were ruthlessly punished on the break in the closing stages.

Yamal, who had threatened throughout, got the goal his performance deserved with 13 minutes remaining when he beat Andriy Lunin from a tight angle with his weaker right.

The 17-year-old rubbed salt into Real wound’s by performing Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic ‘calma’ goal celebration before performing Vinicius’s trademark dance routine with teammate Alejandro Balde in front of the fuming home fans.

Worse was to follow for Real, however, when Raphinha sprinted clear of a non-existent offside trap and cheekily lifted the ball over a hapless Lunin.

Barcelona have now opened a six-point lead at the top of La Liga over second-placed Madrid after 11 rounds.

‘We had a tough week with tough games, but we knew how to pull it out. We played a great game,’ Casado, an unknown reserve team player until Flick picked him to be his holding midfielder, said after his impressive outing.

Casado was one of five homegrown players that Flick put in his starting lineup, the same 11 that beat Bayern Munich 4-1 in the Champions League three days before.

A total of six players under 22 years old started for Barcelona, led by 17-year-olds Yamal and Pau Cubarsí, and showed no signs of being intimidated by the scenario.
