After the conclusion of arguably one of the most memorable Barcelona games in recent memory, the Catalan giants emerged victorious with a scoreline of 4-3 against a resilient Villarreal side led by former Barcelona manager Quique Setien.
Among the many great performances that led Barcelona to victory at the Estadio De La Ceramica, the one that stood out the most was that of the 16-year-old Man of the Match, Lamine Yamal. His brilliance shined not just through his great assist for the opening goal, but also through his performance across the time he was on the field.
After the conclusion of the game, as highlighted by Mundo Deportivo, the player provided insight into various matters concerning him and how the 16-year-old has managed to progress through all the hurdles presented to him.
Talking about his style of play and how comfortable he seems to be able to take on players much more experienced and senior than him with such finesse, the Barcelona player admitted:
“Well, luckily, I don’t have fear. I try to forget about that and focus on playing football, which is what I enjoy and what I’m good at. I step onto the field, and my teammates help me a lot.”
The player even made it clear that he would not grow impatient all of a sudden and will look to return the favor every single time that he is presented with an opportunity with the Barcelona first team:
“I try to make the most of every opportunity, keep moving forward.”
Lastly, the player even mentioned how his own family tends to worry when he’s given starts for the first team despite only being at the tender age of 16:
“My mother sometimes gets worried when I start, but she supports and encourages me a lot.”
The 16-year-old continues to dazzle and amaze every eye that lands on him to see what the hype is all about with this young La Masia talent. Courtesy of his performance, Barcelona take away all three points and currently sit on third place in La Liga EA Sports with 7 points collected from their first three games.
