The exit of Lamine Yamal during the first day of La Liga particularly made an impression. Replaced in the 65th minute against Elche when Barça was already leading 2-0, the young winger did not hide his frustration, even appearing on the verge of tears. However, contrary to the rumors which spoke of anger linked to the situation of Alejandro Balde or the departure of Ferran Torres, the reason was quite different.
According to information from The AthleticYamal was above all disappointed with his own level. After several months disrupted by groin pain and then a muscle injury before the World Cup, the Spaniard felt he had not yet returned to his best level. His missed opportunities against Elche, including two clear ones, reinforced this frustration. At only 19 years old, the Barça star is therefore particularly demanding of himself, with the permanent ambition to perform at the highest level. This Monday evening, he scored a great double against Rayo Vallecano (5-2).
