After a spectacular first leg concluded on a 3-3 score, FC Barcelona found on Tuesday May 6, Inter Milan, at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium in Milan, Italy, for a decisive semi-final of the Champions League. To get their ticket to the final, the Catalans will be able to count on their jewel : Lamine Yamal. The winger trained at the club never ceases to seduce the “socios”, these Barcelona supporters.
And for good reason, Lamine Yamal collects precocity records: he is not yet 18 years old, but he has already played 101 games with the Barca jersey. HAS 17 years and 291 days, Spanish has even become the youngest player to score a goal in the Champions League semi-final, dethroning a certain Kylian Mbappé, according to Opt.(new window)
But he is no longer this promising young talent, he is today a candidate for the Ballon d’Or, according to Ferran. If this supporter is the age of having seen Cruyff play at Camp Nou, today, he does not hide feast with Yamal: “It is a phenomenon! He scores wonderful goals and dribbles in a fantastic way. If he takes things seriously and he continues thoroughly, he will go far! “
In the first leg, the Spaniard scored the spirits with this splendid goal of a powerful strike from the left foot. Not enough to disrupt the winger formed at Barça. With his dental apparatus and her hair dyed in blond, the teenager displays a foolproof relaxation: “I don’t feel pressure. I feel that I have to take advantage of the present moment, and give everything. Fear? I left it in the kindergarten in Mataro a long time ago!“, In the blink of an eye to the popular suburbs where he grew up, north of Barcelona.
-Among supporters, like Joan, the parallel with Lionel Messi is now inevitable. “”It is still difficult to believe! Messi left only a few years ago and we thought it would be the desert for 15 or 20 years … and this is where this gift of God arises, Lamine Yamal! We hope he will continue like this“He says.
But Yamal refuses the little game of comparisons. If he wants to approach the Argentinian, he will have to push a little more the limits of the game and the creativity, on Tuesday evening in Milan, to send his club to the final.
