All three of Barcelona’s forwards have been unstoppable this season. While Lewandowski has led the way in terms of goalscoring, Raphinha has been a stunning playmaker and Lamine Yamal has led counterattacks lethally.
The teenage sensation, in particular, has enjoyed a lion’s share of the limelight for his ability to play at such a level so young and even won the Kopa Trophy earlier this year. In fact, he even finished in the top 10 of the Ballon d’Or race.
Yamal already has plenty of records to his name and continues to amaze every time he takes to the field. It is no surprise that the two games in which he started on the bench are the games Barcelona have lost in La Liga.
Paul Pogba praises Yamal
Speaking in a recent interview via Fabrizio Romano, French superstar Paul Pogba spoke about Barcelona’s young pearl and did not hold back in showering praise on the teenager.
Pogba then went on to rhetorically suggest how incredible it would be if the youngster helped Barcelona break the UEFA Champions League curse.
Despite having two weeks to rest in the international break, Yamal still has minor discomfort in his ankle and is thus expected to miss the game against Celta Vigo this weekend. His presence against Brest midweek is also under doubt.
