""Lamine's presence on the pitch alone is a threat," Francisco said in a news conference. "It is so difficult to stop him, even bringing on fresh players from the bench to defend him. It's great to watch him play. He showed again that he is most likely the best in the world. His introduction off the bench decided the game.""
""I am happy to have him back, we all are," Flick said. "He showed directly the outstanding strength he has, to create chances, to give the last pass. It's good to have him back.""
Lamine Yamal returned from a groin injury to come off the bench and provide the assist for Robert Lewandowski’s headed winner as Barcelona beat Real Sociedad 2-1. Real Sociedad had taken the lead through Álvaro Odriozola before Jules Koundé equalised from a Marcus Rashford corner. Yamal entered in the 58th minute and within a minute beat his man and crossed for Lewandowski’s fourth goal of the season. Yamal later had a goal ruled out for marginal offside. Coaches praised his immediate impact, chance-creation and overall threat. He had recently won the Kopa Trophy and finished second in the Ballon d'Or.
