Traveling to Istanbul this Tuesday, FC Barcelona signed their second success in two matches during the league phase of the Champions League. Winner of Galatasaray (1-4), the Catalan club was notably able to count on a great Lamine Yamal, author of two assists and elected man of the match by UEFA. The opportunity for him to respond with a slight delay to a certain Mario Lemina who had amicably chastised him the day before.
Present at a pre-match press conference on Monday, the former Olympique de Marseille (2013-2016) responded mischievously to a journalist’s question who asked him to talk about the threat that Lamine Yamal could represent. “Who is Lamine Yamal? I don’t know him. I only know Leroy Sané. »
The sequence inevitably reached the ears of Lamine Yamal who surely used it as additional fuel for his motivation. The day after this C1 match, he took care to respond to his one-night opponent. A series of photos and a video of him, posted on his social networks, with one of them where he takes the break with his player of the match trophy.

And a few words in the caption, directly addressed to Mario Lemina: “And now he knows me?” » A message that greatly amused its followers, with 3.6 million “likes” in just three hours. This success in any case allowed Barça to temporarily take the lead in the standings with six points on the clock. It’s as much as Sporting and Arsenal, but the Blaugrana have a better goal difference.
