Watching from the Spotify Camp Nou stands, the youngster savoured a league title triumph over his club&#8217;s bitter rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Real Madrid succumbed at the Spotify Camp Nou as FC Barcelona mathematically secured La Liga crown. Despite both heavyweight camps maintaining a level of decorum without post-match altercations, the ensuing hours allowed Lamine Yamal to finally settle a lingering dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The previous meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu, which Lamine Yamal had sparked with a series of pro-Barca barbs, concluded in a far more volatile atmosphere. Madrid toasted that victory with intensity, with several &#8216;Merengue&#8217; stars calling out the winger for his provocative pre-match rhetoric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the aftermath of that clash, Jude Bellingham shared an Instagram post featuring a caption widely regarded as a direct swipe at Lamine: &#8220;Talk is cheap&#8221;. The Spanish international bided his time for months before decisively balancing the scales this Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Posting a screen-grab of Barcelona&#8217;s 2-0 win, which he witnessed from the stands, the teenager shared a photo of himself celebrating one of the goals. He accompanied the image with the exact wording previously employed by the Englishman, punctuated by a string of laughing emojis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Barcelona starlet took to Instagram to revisit Jude Bellingham&#8217;s taunt from the season&#8217;s first Clasico.
