Jude Bellingham left a hint for Lamine Yamal on social media after Real Madrid's victory against Barça (2-1). The Englishman scored the decisive goal in El Clásico of La Liga's Matchday 10

Real Madrid won the first Clásico of the season against FC Barcelona (2-1) after a remarkable performance by Jude Bellingham. The Englishman, although he avoided a yellow card thanks to César Soto Grado, participated in both of his team's goals, with an assist to Kylian Mbappé and a goal before halftime.

Bellingham has recovered the brilliance he lost last season, establishing himself as an attacking midfielder in Xabi Alonso's scheme. After the victory against Barça, the '5' took the opportunity to send an indirect message to Lamine Yamal on his Instagram account.

The Stourbridge native shared a gallery of images from the match accompanied by the text "Talk is cheap. HALA MADRID SIEMPRE!!!". The phrase "hablar es barato" (talk is cheap) is taken as a response to the Barça '10', who generated a huge stir on social media in the days leading up to the Clásico.

First, during a Kings League event, Lamine compared Real Madrid to Porcinos, joking in a chat with Ibai Llanos. ""They steal and complain"," said the Mataró native, laughing as he referred to 'Casa Blanca'.

Hours before the visit to the Santiago Bernabéu, Yamal had published a video on his Instagram account with a motivational message where he stated that he had "left the fear in his neighborhood." The publication included images of Madrid fans insulting him in the Clásico that ended with a Barça rout (0-4).

Well, at the end of the match corresponding to matchday 10 of LaLiga 25/26, the 'merengue' dressing room did not hesitate to go after the 18-year-old winger. Vinicius and Dani Carvajal had their respective clashes before the teams went to the dressing room, while Bellingham opted for social media to 'respond' to the Rocafonda native.

Jude also opened up about the importance of winning the Clásico in a post-match interview for 'RMTV'. "It's a very important victory. We are very happy. We had been losing against them for a long time and today is a good day for all of us. A great effort from everyone and we deserve the three points," the midfielder argued.

The '5' came from scoring on Wednesday against Juventus and already has 3 goals and 2 assists in 8 games this season. "I have worked hard these months with the physios, in the gym… I am very happy because I feel very good and ready for what is to come," he said regarding his recovery.
