Was it a whim or simple disillusionment? During FC Barcelona’s victory against Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano (1-2), Lamine Yamal left the field quite frustrated, without celebrating Robert Lewandowski’s winning goal and passing in front of Hansi Flick without stopping. The young Catalan prodigy, author of a remarkable performance in the den of the Colchoneros, nevertheless failed to find the net. After the match, journalist Jose Alvarez Haya explained the player’s situation at El Chiringuito. Pure frustration!
“Lamine’s anger was due to the match. He created a lot of chances and failed to score, he has a big hunger and wants to contaminate the rest.” he indicated. As a reminder, Flick even quickly put things into perspective at the end of the game in Madrid showing that no tension had arisen in the group. A state of mind that the 18-year-old phenomenon regularly shows to his coach, but which sometimes raises questions. Furthermore, this positive rage shows to what extent his career is dictated by extreme demands. Still leader in the standings, Yamal can take a breather, because his team is seven points ahead of second.
