Following Barcelona’s recent 4-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League, young star Lamine Yamal shared his thoughts on the game, the impact of coach Hansi Flick, and his ambitions with the club. Reflecting on the match, Yamal highlighted the importance of Barcelona’s signature style: “We had to play with the ball, because playing with the ball is better and faster, and we are good when the ball is at our feet.” His belief in possession-based play reflects Barça's philosophy, emphasizing control and fluidity.
Yamal also acknowledged the responsibility of playing for Barcelona, especially at home: “We are Barcelona, and we are playing at home. We have to show who we are.” Confident and proud, he was thrilled with the win and already looking forward to their next match on Saturday.
When asked about working under Hansi Flick, Yamal praised the coach’s approach, noting that “It gives me a lot of freedom… I can move from one side to the other.” He emphasized how Flick’s style has given him space to explore the field creatively, enabling him to play “happily” and with confidence—something he believes is evident in his recent performances.
Looking ahead to El Clásico, Yamal conveyed the team’s high morale, saying, “We believe we are the best team in the world, and I think we are proving it.” Despite the confidence, he showed respect for the rivalry, saying they’ll approach the match with all their strength and “may the best team win.”
Beyond this season, Yamal expressed his deep gratitude to Barcelona and his aspirations to leave a legacy: “I would like to be remembered in the history of Barça as a legend. Thanks to Barcelona I am who I am.”
