Lamine Yamal has discussed his reactions to being substituted during matches for FC Barcelona.
The 17-year-old winger of Moroccan and Equatorial Guinean descent has become a focal point of attention not only for his exceptional skills on the pitch but also for his visible displays of disappointment when taken off the field.
Yamal provided insight into the emotions that drive these reactions, emphasizing the intense competitive spirit that permeates the Barcelona squad.
“That just shows that everyone wants to play,” Yamal explained, shedding light on the collective ambition within the team.
“At the moment of the substitution, every player gets upset. It is normal, but on the way to the bench, it passes,” he added, highlighting the transient nature of these emotions.
Yamal’s comments come in the wake of several incidents where his frustration was palpable, including a notable moment during Barcelona’s 3-0 victory over Deportivo Alaves.
Despite these moments of frustration, Yamal’s performances this season have been nothing short of remarkable.
With 13 goals and 17 assists in 38 appearances across all competitions, the teenager has established himself as a key figure in Barcelona’s attacking lineup.
