Lionel Messi, now eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, expressed his delight after his former club FC Barcelona’s brilliant victory in the 258th Clasico.
On Saturday, October 26, 2024, the Blaugrana dominated Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu with a resounding 4-0 triumph. This resounding victory thrilled the soccer world, and the Argentine, now a player with Inter Miami, shared his enthusiasm on social networks: “What a great victory! Congratulations.”
In the streets of Barcelona, fans celebrated in honor of their idol, chanting his name: “Messi, Messi, Messi!”
Thierry Henry, another Barça legend, also praised the team’s performance.
“Barcelona have become a team of revenge. After Bayern, they inflict a crushing defeat on Real Madrid. Lamine Yamal reminds me of Messi, Raphinha looks like Ronaldinho, and Pedri looks like Iniesta. It’s like watching Barça in 2011. The team is back to its glory days. Nothing and nobody can stop them, and any team that stands in their way will suffer the same fate,” he declared.
After a balanced first half, the Catalans broke through Madrid’s defense in the second half. Lewandowski opened the scoring before doubling the lead shortly afterwards. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha then sealed the deal with a goal apiece.
With this victory, Barcelona confirmed their supremacy in La Liga and the Champions League, just a few days after having already impressed by beating Bayern Munich 4-1 on October 23.
