Lamine Yamal He couldn’t play last night at the Camp Nou due to injury, but he was in the stands to see how his team defeated Real Madrid 2-0 and became LaLiga champion. And this afternoon he wanted to leave his particular mark on the alirón.
The Barça winger has published a video on his Instagram stories celebrating euphorically from the stands of the stadium, with the score 2-0 visible on the screen. The text that accompanies the image has not gone unnoticed: “talk is cheap” (talk is cheap), with seven emoticons of a face crying with laughter.

The phrase is not innocent. On October 26, 2025, after Real Madrid’s victory in the Clásico played at the Bernabéu, Jude Bellingham published the following phrase on his Instagram profile – with more than 6.4 million likes –: “Talk is cheap. HALA MADRID ALWAYS!!!”. A message that was interpreted as a direct message to the winger and his pre-match publication that included a photo of him in a Clásico with some Madrid fans in the background in the stands rebuking him.

Seven months later, with the LaLiga title already in the hands of the Catalans, Lamine Yamal has recovered those same words to reverse the message with ‘message’ for the Madrid footballer. Bellingham’s phrase, the score and the young Spaniard’s celebration say it all.
