While there are still two games to play, the 2023-24 season is going to end for FC Barcelona without any piece of silverware being added to the Catalan club’s cabinet.
However, some of the Barcelona players still have the chance of lifting a trophy in the coming months, as there are two big international events scheduled for this summer, the UEFA EURO 2024 and the Copa America, and the Catalan club will be represented by its several players who have been called up for their respective teams in the two continents.
The Spanish national team coach, Luis de la Fuente, appeared in an extensive interview where he talked about the upcoming UEFA EURO 2024. As Mundo Deportivo has reported, the Spanish coach was full of praise for the Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal
There are special footballers like him who at 16 have something different, and you know they are ready for things that others aren’t until they are 23 or 24 years old. If he ends up playing in the Euro, it will be because he is ready and because he has that special talent of the chosen one.”
However, the trainer also understood that the youngster will face some difficult moments down the road, and he should be handled with care by everyone who is in charge of him:
“He will need support because he will go through difficult moments, as those who now praise him will be the first to criticize him, and we professionals know he will have ups and downs; he is in the process of development.
Lamine Yamal has already proven himself with his performances for Barcelona and Spain this season. He was not shy even while facing some of the biggest clubs in Europe with his club, and hopefully, he will also put on a show in the upcoming international event, and further cement himself as a differential player despite being only 16 years of age.
