"I like these situations. These are the moments when the big players step up. And now I can hardly wait for tomorrow’s match," a confident Lamine Yamal said ahead of the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Atlético Madrid. Big words — and so far, the 18-year-old has backed them up with more than just actions.
Against Atleti, the Spanish superstar made it 1-0 after just four minutes. He then almost set up the second goal as well. After a sublime pass to Olmo, the latter was only narrowly denied by goalkeeper Juan Musso. As things stand, Barcelona still trail 2-1 on aggregate after the first and second legs.
If Yamal keeps producing magic at this pace, though, that probably won’t be the case for much longer.
It is now indeed 2-0 to the Catalans. Ferran Torres scored after 24 minutes.
