Lamine Yamal, after taking a few hours of reflection, wanted to send, around noon, a message to Barcelona fans. He not only referred to the elimination from the Champions League, where he included some criticism, but also promised that the trophy will sooner or later be in his hands. “We are Barca and we will be back where we belong. My parents taught me that a man’s word is always kept… and we will bring it to Barcelona,” wrote the winger on social media, accompanying the post with an image of himself lying on the grass at the Metropolitano after the second leg against Atletico Madrid.
In addition, Lamine Yamal did not mince his words when analysing the tie against Atletico Madrid. In a very subtle way, he pointed to some refereeing decisions that did not go down well with the Catalan club. “We gave it our all, but it wasn’t enough. This is just part of the journey: to get to the top you have to climb, and we know it won’t be easy or made easy for us. But giving up is not an option,” he said.
In fact, the youth player considered that the team is on an upward trend. “We have plenty of reasons to be excited and we are going to go for them with everything. Every mistake is a lesson and do not doubt that we will learn from each one,” he reflected.
Lamine Yamal was already the player chosen in the preview against Atletico Madrid to speak to the media. In the press room, the winger promised that he was going to give his all to try to qualify. The Rocafonda-born player certainly did not skimp on effort on the pitch at the Metropolitano. In fact, he started the game with an extra gear and produced some great moves. Now he returns with a new promise: that the Orejona will end up traveling to Barcelona.
