"We are talking about a player from another galaxy,"
"He has so much quality and delivers in key moments in games. He is already a star who, despite his age, is able to decide matches."
"For me, much more important was what Lamine did for the first goal,"
"The way he pressed and how he recovered the ball leading to that goal is what we want. This was the key to opening this game and the three points. For me, it was more important than the third goal. But, of course, everyone loves to see the goal he scored in football, and I am happy that he scored such a goal."
Lamine Yamal completed Barcelona's 3-0 win with a spectacular overhead kick in the 72nd minute, finishing from Dani Olmo's cross. Barcelona had earlier taken control after the break with two quick goals from Olmo and Raphinha that returned the side to the top of LaLiga. Yamal became the second player in Europe's top five leagues since last April with more than eight goals and eight assists at home across all competitions. He led the match for touches in the opposition box (10), chances created (four) and total duels (15). Coaches praised his pressing, quality and match-deciding presence despite his young age.
