"I think all coaches look for ways to stop Barça's attack. Their right flank is one of their weapons, because of Lamine Yamal."
"I already said back then, when I saw the impact he had in LaLiga as soon as he arrived, that we were talking about possibly one of the players who is going to define an era worldwide."
"He's very difficult to stop because now, in addition to his individual skill, he also has the passing ability. Most dribblers struggle to look far ahead and deliver that cross or that forward pass. But with Lamine, if you give him an inch so he can't face you, he'll get the pass out. He'll get the pass with the outside of his foot and he'll get the cross in. And then, if you stay too close to him, he'll dribble past you. So, we're talking about a game-changing player."
Barcelona play Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey midweek and then face local rivals Girona on the weekend. Girona are a diminished threat compared with their 2024/25 campaign. Lamine Yamal has recorded 15 goals and 13 assists this season and ranks among Spain's most productive players. Girona coach Michel praised Yamal's immediate impact and called him a potential era-defining player. Michel described Yamal as a right-flank weapon who combines elite dribbling with improved passing, routinely delivering crosses or forward passes with the outside of his foot and beating defenders when pressed.
