Four goals in the first period allowed a sensational turnaround, allowing the Hansi Flick team to win 4-3 at home, despite a hat-trick by Kylian Mbappé. Thanks to this victory against his biggest rival, Flick no longer needs only success to ensure the title of champion, three days from the end.
Lamine Yamal, a big fan of Henry
The young star Lamine Yamal continues to be an engine element of the Flick team, marking against the Merengues for the third time this season. The 17 -year -old thus reached 15 goals in all competitions for his second full season with the Barça first team.
The Spanish international has already won over an army of fans from his young career, experts and former players saying that he could become one of the greatest players of all time. One of his greatest supporters is the former Barcelona striker Thierry Henry, present at the Olympic stadium Lluís Companys for the victory.
Why did Thierry Henry exchanged his jersey with Lamine Yamal?
Henry had already made a daring request to Lamine Yamal-after the victory of FC Barcelona in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League against Inter Milan in April-and the two men concluded the agreement at the end of the match.
Lamine Yamal promised an exchange of jerseys with Henry, and the local press captured a superb moment between the Barcelona stars of yesterday and today.
A victory against the Espanyol on May 15 could ensure Flick a double Catalan clasico-derby in less than a week, thus concluding its first season in style. The Espanyol is not completely safe from the risk of relegation as the last games approached and will probably need two or three points in the race to ensure its maintenance.
