In the context of matchday 11 of LaLiga, Barcelona and Real Madrid faced off in a match where the Blaugrana triumphed with a brace from Robert Lewandowski, accompanied by goals from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. This victory allowed them to extend their lead over their archrival in the standings.
Oscar-winning Natalie Portman had a prominent role in the Ballon d'Or ceremony held at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. The actress, known for her role as 'Queen Amidala' in Star Wars, was responsible for presenting the women's Ballon d'Or to Aitana Bonmatí, a midfielder for Barcelona, who earned this award for the second consecutive year.
During her speech on stage, Natalie Portman shared that her interest in football arose from her son's enthusiasm, which led her to co-found Angel City FC in the NWSL along with other personalities. Additionally, the actress seized the opportunity to express her support for Barcelona and subtly mock Real Madrid.
At the end of the gala, Natalie Portman met several Barcelona players, including Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, and Pau Cubarsí, with whom she took photos. During the photo-taking, Portman made a gesture by raising four fingers, alluding to Barcelona's 4-0 victory over Real Madrid in the recent Clásico held at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
