Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick has lauded teenage prodigy Lamine Yamal, describing him as a game-changer for the Catalan giants.
Speaking after Barcelona’s emphatic 5-1 victory over RCD Mallorca on Tuesday, Flick praised the Spanish star of African descent for his immense contribution to the team’s success.
“He’s always important. He makes the difference. He could have scored one or two goals. He played very well, he assisted… he has great quality. We need him,” Flick remarked.
The match marked Yamal’s much-anticipated return from injury, during which Barcelona endured a challenging period in La Liga, dropping valuable points.
Now back to full fitness, the 17-year-old started against Mallorca and demonstrated his exceptional talent, earning praise for his creativity and influence on the pitch.
With Yamal’s return, Hansi Flick and Barcelona are optimistic about reclaiming their early-season form and pushing for domestic and continental success.
The young star’s presence is seen as pivotal in reigniting the team’s spark and ensuring a strong finish to the season.
