Lamine drives a tunnel boring machine – AS.com

Barcelona has started 2025 in a big way. Institutionally, these first fifteen days have been a roller coaster, butOn the field, Flick’s team is a marvel led by a huge Lamine Yamal, who is followed by a team in a heavenly state.. Barça went to the quarterfinals of the Cup after beating Betis 5-1, but no one would have been surprised if The result would have been seven or eight goals for the Catalans, who dismantled Pellegrini’s men in a match in which the VAR demonstrated against the art of football.

Flick’s rotations included both rest for those affected and rehearsal thinking about the future. Especially in the case of Lewandowski. With Ansu out of the equation and Ferran Torres without dazzling, the German took advantage of the Cup to rehearse with Dani Olmo as false nine. In the middle, De Jong was enjoying his umpteenth opportunity to stop being a usual suspect.

And the invention of putting Dani Olmo in an undetectable area for Betis was a total success. Barça destroyed Betis in a sensational match that was the continuation of the review that Barça gave Madrid on Sunday in Jeddah. Three minutes in, Gavi received an assist from Olmo and scored the first. From there, the martyrdom began for Betis, who held on thanks to Vieites, who before 30 minutes had prevented, with the help of the stick, another three goals from Barcelona.

Betis did not go beyond midfield and Flick’s team could only become demoralized at 1-0, a result that was too short for the merits of a Pedri who dominated the game, a Gavi at full speed, a transparent Olmo for the Beticos and a Lamine Yamal who is worth the price asked for any ticket.

The 17-year-old winger offered a recital of dribbles, controls and assists of such magnitude that he turned his band partner, Koundé, into Cafú. The Frenchman scored 2-0 after a fabulous play by Barça with a final assist from Lamine Yamal and even scored another, even better one, which the VAR annulled due to the tip of a boot. The VAR against art.

In favor of Betis, it must be said that even though they were crushed in a brilliant first half by Barcelona, ​​they never lost face in the game.. Not even when Ruibal had to leave injured after 23 minutes. Even taking advantage of Barça’s hole in Gerard Martín’s wing, Vitor Roque had the option of scoring, but Iñaki Peña showed that he does not want to lose ownership again.

Betis increased the pressure at the beginning of the second half, but Barça, led by an unleashed Lamine Yamal, took advantage of the space. lThe Blaugrana star scored the third, but the VAR insisted on going against art. Another great goal was annulled after taking the video to two minutes before the goal. The decision angered Lamine, who on the next play caught the ball on the edge of his area, crossed the entire field, left Bartra sitting and Raphinha collected a rebound to score the third. Not even the VAR could object this time. And Barça continued to press. Everything was going well. Ferran came on and on the first ball he touched he scored 4-0.

And, as if it were a sign of justice, Lamine scored the fifth. The assistant overruled it in the first instance, but this time, Even the VAR machine was embarrassed to annul the goal. Lamine got his goal and could now go to the bench after a sensational game that Vitor Roque made up for with a penalty goal. This Barça, led by Lamine Yamal, has started the year with a bang.
