FC Barcelona<\/strong> visits RCD Espanyol<\/strong> this Saturday (9:00 PM) in the hottest Catalan derby of the last decade. In addition to the last two precedents in Cornell\u00e0, both ending in victory and a league title for the Blaugrana, the return of Joan Garc\u00eda<\/strong> spices up a rivalry that Lamine Yamal<\/strong> has also helped to fuel.<\/p> The ’10’ added more spice to the build-up to LaLiga’s 18th matchday with two stories on his **Instagram** account recalling the spectacular goal that paved the way for victory and the league title last season in the matchday 36 clash (0-2, with goals from Lamine and Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez).<\/p> “Looking forward to returning<\/strong>,” wrote the player from Matar\u00f3, accompanied by two emojis in Bar\u00e7a’s colors and a photograph of himself celebrating the partial 0-1 score in the 53rd minute of the match played on May 15, 2025. Yamal also uploaded another image of the celebration with Alejandro Balde in a game in which he was the standout player<\/a><\/p> That day, in addition to scoring a colossal goal, the winger caused the expulsion of Leandro Cabrera<\/strong> in the 80th minute and, in stoppage time, assisted Ferm\u00edn <\/strong>for the goal that sealed the match and LaLiga 24\/25, with two matchdays still to play<\/p> Lamine’s reaction prior to a ‘high-risk’ match for Bar\u00e7a on social media has been common this season. The ’10’ also published viral messages before the matches against Real Madrid<\/strong> and Chelsea<\/strong>, where he subsequently received several ‘dedications’ after two painful defeats for the Catalans.<\/p> Prior to the visit to Cornell\u00e0, his second in the blaugrana shirt, the 18-year-old winger had raised alarms due to his absence from Thursday’s training session. However, the forward trained normally on Friday<\/a> and Hansi Flick guaranteed his presence on Saturday in the Catalan derby<\/p> Lamine Yamal’s Instagram post, however, was not the first to heat up the Espanyol-Bar\u00e7a match in the lead-up to matchday 18. During an interview for the program ‘Perico que vola’, **Pere Milla** had sent a ‘dart’ at the Bar\u00e7a number 10 after answering a question from an ‘blanquiazul’ fan.<\/p> “Who do you want to step on, Joan Garcia or Lamine Yamal?<\/strong>“, asked the fan, to which the 33-year-old forward, after taking a few seconds to respond, commented: “I think Lamine<\/strong>“, sparking laughter from the show’s panel.<\/p> Lamine once again heats up a high-risk match for Bar\u00e7a<\/h2>
