😭 Lamine: “At Bernabéu, I watched Rashford play and thought to myself that he doesn't yet know what a Clásico means” 🔵🔴
“Then in the return leg, he truly understood what a Clásico means, when he scored a goal from a free kick and played with a different intensity” 💨
“When you come from La Masia, from your very first Clásico, you already know what this match means, and you know that this match is war” #FCB ⚔️

But yeah Laliga is the farmers league 🤡
Because when you are down, the only thing that can keeps you going is the delusion that you are still better than others, even if the reality says otherwise.
🚨🌕 Raphinha: “Lamine Yamal should win the Balon d'Or by a mile”.
“He has the numbers, he has won trophies, with the club and he has won the World Cup”, told RAC1.
“People will pay whatever it takes to watch him play, and I would pay it too!”.
What's insane about this from Adeyemi is that it was the 88th minute after he'd spent the whole game constantly running and the game was already won, yet he still had the energy and hunger to pull this off.
That's the mentality I want in this team.
Cucurella came from Barca academy, made an appearance for first team but he couldn’t make it here
Went to Eibar but he couldn’t make it
Went to Getafe but he couldn’t make it
Went to Brighton and started getting best LB shouts
Chelsea signed him and he dominated the league
Now he’s back to La Liga and he’s faded so fast
We have to stop rating leagues based on the amount of money they’re willing to throw on sub level players
The funniest thing about this tweet is that there’s only one club in Europe’s top 5 leagues that can actually boast about a statement like this and that club isn’t in the Premier League.
I said it that all these organisers want Lamine to win. If Kane wins, it is a great story for him. But it does not move the needle globally. Lamine winning is the only one that would give the Ballon d'Or a fresh, exciting, prestige restoring moment since Messi and Ronaldo.
If Kane wins the Ballon d’Or it’ll be the final nail in the coffin of this award because Kane literally had a Raphinha 24/25 season and he placed 5th.
There’s really no better player in the world than Lamine Yamal that was the most consistent, won the biggest tournament of all time & had an incredible UCL campaign.
