So active that you almost forgot he was fasting. Against Villarreal this afternoon (4-1), Lamine Yamal gave us a real recital: actions from elsewhere, sparks, and a first career hat-trick. After the match, the 18-year-old striker was asked about the difficulty of playing while fasting.
“I’m hungry, but I’m fine”he confided. A significant physical challenge awaits the Spaniard, since several Barça La Liga matches are scheduled for the early afternoon (4:15 p.m.) during this period (Levante, Athletic, Sevilla among others). This means that he could play the majority of these matches, without having broken his fast.
