"According to a report from AS, Lamine Yamal is now 100% ready and available for the showdown, easing any remaining doubts around his physical condition. Within the club, there is growing confidence that the teenager can play a decisive role, just as he did in last season's final against the same opponent. Yamal's readiness did not come by accident. His absence from the starting XI in the semi-final against Athletic Club raised questions, but the decision was carefully planned."
"The winger had missed several training sessions in the build-up to that match, and Hansi Flick chose caution over risk. The coach felt Yamal was not yet in the ideal condition to cope with the physical demands of starting the game, especially with the intensity required in a knockout tie. That call is now paying off. With the final approaching, Barcelona believe Yamal has recovered fully and is ready to handle the responsibility."
Lamine Yamal is 100% fit and available for the Spanish Super Cup final against Real Madrid. Inside Barcelona there is growing confidence that the teenager can be decisive, replicating his impact from last season's final. Yamal missed several training sessions before the semi-final, and Hansi Flick omitted him from the starting XI out of caution, believing he was not in ideal condition for the match's physical demands. Yamal has since recovered, will have three full training sessions before the final, and faces a personal opportunity to respond to past big-match underperformances as expectations are high.
