❤️ Raphinha: “I’m comfortable with playing on the right. Obviously, if I play there on the right wing, they shouldn't expect anything special because I'm not Lamine”, he told @movistar_es 🕺
“Lamine is a star and I'll give my best as always in whatever position I play, but please don't expect from me something like Lamine” #FCB 🫂🌟
🚨🗣️ Leo Messi: "From the new generation of players, for me Lamine Yamal is the one who reminds me the MOST of myself in my early days."
"There’s no doubt, for me Lamine is the BEST of this generation. Because of what he has done so far and the future he could go on to have."
🚨🎙️Micah Richards on passionate defense of Lamine Yamal:
"Listen, If you think he had a bad game, football is not for you. Truly. Go and watch another sport, because you clearly don’t understand this one!"
Lamine was absolutely magnificent tonight. Sensational! He was out there playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers. At 18 years old, he’s demanding the ball, taking on three players at a time, creating chances out of nothing... he was a different class!"
"But let’s be honest—and it hurts me to say it—his teammates let him down. Plain and simple. He’s providing the magic, he’s providing the spark, and the rest of them? They were stuck in second gear! It’s a travesty that a performance that unbelievable ends up on the losing side because the others couldn't match his levels. We are witnessing greatness, and we need to start respecting it!"
💙🫂 Leo Messi decided to let Nicolás Otamendi take the penalty at La Bombonera.
38 year old defender could be on his last home game in front of Argentina fans… and Messi wanted to give him the penalty.
