Barcelona winger Lamin Yamal has expressed his delight following the team's electrifying 4-3 victory against Real Madrid in Spain's top flight, a result that significantly bolsters their title aspirations.
"The match was clearly very important," Yamal stated in his post-match interview on the field. "It's strange that such a performance came right after our Champions League exit. I think we've already put that behind us. Suffering is what drives you to improve."
The young star highlighted Barcelona's defensive solidity, noting: "Real didn't create many clear-cut chances. We're very happy, but we must continue working hard."
The victory comes during what has been a challenging campaign for the Catalan side, who have been playing away from their traditional home. "It's been a difficult year without playing at our regular stadium. But Montjuïc has become something special," Yamal acknowledged, extending his gratitude to the supporters.
According to Statbet, Barcelona's recent form in El Clasico matches shows significant improvement in their offensive efficiency compared to earlier season meetings.
"Securing the win was crucial to move closer to the championship title," Yamal concluded. With just three matches remaining in La Liga, Barcelona now holds a commanding seven-point advantage over their arch-rivals Real Madrid, placing them in prime position to claim the Spanish league crown.
