Spanish-Moroccan star Lamine Yamal caught demanding clearer instructions from Barcelona coach Flick
Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal was caught seeking clearer guidance from coach Hansi Flick during his side’s 4-2 La Liga win over Celta Vigo.
The Spanish-Moroccan forward appeared frustrated midway through the first half, questioning how the team should operate in midfield.
Movistar Plus cameras captured Yamal repeatedly asking: “What do we do in the middle of the field? What do we do in the middle of the field?”
Despite the on-field confusion, Yamal made a decisive contribution, scoring his side’s third goal in first-half stoppage time after Marcus Rashford’s deflected cross found him at the back post.
His intervention helped Barcelona maintain the lead in a match marked by rapid responses from Celta Vigo.
Robert Lewandowski stole the spotlight with a clinical hat-trick.
The Polish striker opened the scoring from a ninth-minute penalty, restored Barcelona’s lead in the 36th minute, and completed his treble with a 73rd-minute header from Rashford’s corner.
His achievement added to an already remarkable tally of 19 league hat-tricks across Germany and Spain.
Celta Vigo responded twice in the first half, with Sergio Carreira and Borja Iglesias finding the net, making for a frenetic opening 45 minutes.
Barcelona had to close out the game with ten men after Frenkie de Jong was sent off for a second bookable offence.
The victory moved Barcelona within three points of La Liga leaders Real Madrid, who dropped points against Rayo Vallecano, allowing Flick’s side to keep pressure on the capital club.
Yamal’s insistence on tactical clarity highlights his growing maturity and influence despite his teenage status.
