Lamine Yamal is back!

It’s not just Kylian Mbappé who is capsizing Spain with his performances. After a delicate start to the season, Lamine Yamal is back. Mundo Deportivo highlights a statement from the Spaniard, “let’s try to do more“, a sign of the player’s mentality at the moment. And as the media writes in its inside pages, Lamine Yamal is on fire. The winger is going through the best period of his young career with Barça. For the first time, he has scored four consecutive games and also shines with his overall influence in the game. The team’s second top scorer and best passer, he now has 14 goals and 13 assists. His metamorphosis began after the Clasico of October at the Bernabéu, marked by a personal questioning More mature and more complete, he establishes himself as the offensive leader of Barça as the big matches approach. Hansi Flick must be happy to see his player play a series of good matches.

Andy Diouf is enjoying himself in Italy

Inter Milan won their Italian Cup semi-final against Torino thanks to a goal from Ange-Yoan Bonny and another from Andy Diouf, despite a late reaction from the visitors with a goal from Kulenovic. Qualification is therefore assured for Inter, who will have to manage a busy schedule including the Champions League and the championship. Diouf confirmed his potential by scoring on a pass from Marcus Thuram. Deployed in the middle by Chivu, he showed that he could play a key role in this team. The Frenchman, bought for 25 million euros last summer from Lens, is establishing himself as a major asset. With more continuity, Diouf could increase his offensive impact and become a central player for the club’s future. In any case, this is what the management of Inter Milan is hoping for!

Real set target for Alexander-Arnold

One case raises a question on Madrid’s side, that of Trent Alexander-Arnold. Recovering the best from the right back is Alvaro Arbeloa’s priority in the most decisive period of the season, writes Marca. This Sunday’s match at Mestalla against Valencia should be the England international’s big comeback. The player has missed 21 matches this season since he suffered three injuries, including one at the Club World Cup. A very complicated start to the adventure with Real Madrid, especially since Dani Carvajal also missed long weeks of competition, which pushed Federico Valverde to play right back.
