Special/ Yamal from another « Planet », its statistics are extraordinary
At Montjuïc’s Olympic Luis Companys stadium, the evening between Barcelona and Inter was a real spectacle: a crazy match, with emotions, results and unforgettable moments. But above all, it was the evening of Lamine yamal.
Still without turning 18 (birthday on July 13), Catalan talent turned into a Barcelona leader into a challenge that had begun in the mountain. He took the team by the hand and returned it to the game, keeping hopes for the final in the return match at San Siro.
His statistics speak for themselves: Yamal was the most dangerous attack player for Barça – he fired more (6 times), crossed more often (10 times), made more dribbles (6) and, surprisingly, was third for the touches of the ball (102), only after Pedri (107) and De Jong (112).
Only some of his records: The youngest who has debuted and scored with Barcelona and the Spanish national; the youngest who has debuted, marked and won a European; the youngest who was the head of the Champions League; And since Wednesday evening, the youngest who has ever scored in a Champions semifinal.
The football world is standing for lamina. Simone Inzaghi, Inter coach, stated after the match: « I haven’t seen one like him for years. » Even Erling Haaland, usually reserved, could not react: « This guy is incredible, » the City striker wrote on Snapchat.
While Marcus Thuram, talking about Canal+, said Yamal is probably the third best player in the world at the moment, after Mbappé and Dembélé.
With over 100 matches with the Barcelona jersey and 4 already won trophies, Lamine Yamal is not only a promise for the future, but a star of the present. Next challenge? San Siro Stadium and 80,000 Italian fans – a fiery test for a leader who seems ready to lead Barça towards the Tripleta’s dream. /R.Lika-time Jonw/
