Lamine Yamal (18) scored the 3-2 goal against Newcastle in the second leg of the “eighties” of the Champions League and celebrated the success in the style of Cristiano Ronaldo (41 years old), the great rival who wrote history at Real Madrid. It was the tenth goal scored by the Barcelona star in Europe's most important interclub competition.
Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration has remained in the memory of football fans after a successful “treble” by the Portuguese star in a match against Atletico Madrid in the 2016-2017 season of the Champions League, when he was playing for Real Madrid.

Lamine Yamal managed to score his 10th Champions League goal in the second leg of Barcelona's Round of 16 match against Newcastle United at Camp Nou.
After 1-1 in the round at “St. James Park”, Barcelona started the home match strongly and opened the scoring in the 6th minute, through Raphinha. “Coțofenele” came back in the 15th minute through Anthony Elanga, but the Catalans returned to the advantage just 3 minutes later, through Marc Bernal.
The same Elanga restored the tie in the 28th minute, but Barcelona took the lead thanks to the penalty converted by Lamine Yamal in the 45th+7th minute.
Immediately after the goal, the young Barcelona footballer celebrated the success by sitting on the billboards with his hands in his chest, in the style of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The same thing happened on January 25, when Lamine Yamal closed the table 3-0 in the match against Real Oviedo, similarly celebrating the achievement.
Barcelona did not stop at 3-2, and Hansi Flick's team scored 4 more times on the table in the second half, through Fermin Lopez, Robert Lewandowski's “double” and another success by the Brazilian Raphinha.
