Barcelona icon Hristo Stoichkov took the opportunity to poke fun at Real Madrid after the Blaugrana’s thrilling 4-3 El Clasico triumph yesterday.
Stoichkov, a key figure in the club’s history, aimed a lighthearted jab at Los Blancos through a social media post centered on emerging star Lamine Yamal.
Yamal, who has Moroccan and Equatoguinean heritage, has become a symbol of Barcelona’s promising future.
The 17-year-old, who grew up in Mataró’s Rocafonda neighborhood, continues to make headlines for his rapid rise at the club.
Known for his electric pace and clinical finishing, Yamal also stands out for his goal celebration, in which he forms the number 304 with his hands, a nod to the last digits of Rocafonda’s postal code, 08304.
“The whole world saw the true Galácticos! A team that deserves to be champion! Four games, 16 goals! Long live Barça!” Stoichkov declared, celebrating the club’s recent form.
His post included an image of Yamal making his signature gesture, alongside the numbers “3, 0, 4,” symbolizing three Barcelona titles, zero for Madrid, and four consecutive Clasico wins for the Catalans.
Stoichkov’s playful taunt comes as Barcelona continue to flex their dominance over their fierce rivals this season.
With Yamal quickly becoming one of the club’s standout performers, the teenager is already being touted as the next star in a long line of La Masia talents.
His rise has not only sparked excitement among fans but also fueled the ongoing rivalry with Madrid, adding another chapter to the storied clash between Spain’s two biggest clubs.
