Big talk, and he backs it up: Yamal gives Barça instant hope! "I like these situations. These are the moments when the big players step up.
And now I can hardly wait for tomorrow’s match," a confident Lamine Yamal said ahead of the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Atlético Madrid. Big words – and so far, the 18-year-old has backed them up with more than just actions. Against Atleti, the Spanish superstar made it 1-0 after just four minutes.
He then nearly set up the second goal as well. After a brilliant pass to Dani Olmo, the latter was only narrowly denied by goalkeeper Juan Musso. As things stand, Barcelona are still trailing 2-1 on aggregate after the first and second legs.
If Yamal keeps producing magic at this pace, though, that probably won’t be the case for much longer. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here.
