Pressure on the return of Lamine Yamal
The day after FC Barcelona’s press release indicating the end of the La Liga season for Spanish prodigy Lamine Yamal, suffering from an injury to the biceps femoris of his left leg, Spain is already mourning its jewel. “ Half KO » placard Sport on its front page while the Roja winger should however be back to play in the World Cup. “ Farewell to La Liga », writes the Mundo Deportivo which details the difficult day experienced by the Catalan, very affected, but supported by his teammates and the Blaugrana staff. The Catalan media specifies that Lamine Yamal stayed more than three hours in the Barça facilities, accompanied by Deco and Hansi Flick in particular. And after this terrible news for the player and Barça, Spain is already looking towards the World Cup and hopes to find the 18-year-old player 100%. As indicated Sportcoach Luis de la Fuente expects Lamine Yamal to be at his best for this World Cup and the staff is convinced that the Barcelona player will be at his top level for the first match, against Cape Verde on June 15. However, Mundo Deportivo delays and indicates through Dr. Ripoll that haste is the risk for this type of injury, the recurrence rate of which is 30%.
Mbappé celebrates his 100th
The trip against Bétis Sevilla will mark Kylian Mbappé’s 100th appearance in the white tunic. For the occasion, A.S. takes stock of the Frenchman since his arrival in the Spanish capital in July 2024. 644 days, 85 goals, 23 assists, here are the statistics of the French international with the Merengues. If the record is honorable, the Frenchman, who alternates between the good and the less good, has still not won any major trophies with the club in the 15th Champions League. In addition to his record, it is his so-called pending connection with Vinicius that raises questions. Although the two men seem to like each other, this chemistry is difficult to be felt and it is not this statistic which will contradict this idea. The daily specifies that only 6% of Real’s goals have been scored after an assist from one side to the other since their start. Only 4 assists from Mbappé for Vinicius compared to 12 for the Brazilian towards the Frenchman, representing a total of 16 goals out of 261.
Rashord will not continue with Barcelona
If Barça mourns the absence of Lamine Yamal, the probable separation with Marcus Rashford, who fails to establish himself as an indisputable starter, risks making Blaugrana supporters less sad. Will stay, will not stay, the future of the English in Catalonia is a subject that lasts, but this time, Sport ensures that the Blaugrana management has made a decision. While they were already trying to lower the amount of the purchase option estimated at 30 million euros, the Culés decided to let the Englishman return to Manchester United at the end of the season.
