Barcelona 5 - 1 Betis
Barcelona scores 5 goals again, it seems that they are playing very well again, after having gone through terrible moments in La Liga games, in which in the last 5 La Liga games they only had 1 victory. We will see if they will really be able to win the games in La Liga and if they will score many goals too
Yes, I see Yamal play like crazy tonight, he gave an assist to Kounde and created a goal also in minute 75. He gave give assist again and created a score but the referee disallowed it because of offside. When I look how Yamal played I have optimized Barcelona will go through without any trouble on Copa del Ray. They may be reunited with their big opponent real Madrid in the next round then create more history on el Classico.
Real Madrid will meet Celta Vigo tomorrow. there is vengeance by real Madrid for their loss the other day versus Barcelona. They do not believe they lost in El Classico final. tomorrow's match is their chance to vent to heal their loss in front of their fans.
As a young player Yamal talent is vast and he is strengthening his position with time, which has the potential to take his place in the ranks of legendary footballers. His contribution to the huge defeat of Real Betis in the match yesterday included a goal himself and two assists and he could have scored another assist if the goal had not been disallowed for offside. He has shown extraordinary skills all over the field, which is typical of a talented player. For Barcelona, the 17-year-old Yamal is like a blessing and his achievements have made headlines in various media outlets around the football world. As midfielder Gavi said Yamal may be the best footballer in the world after the legendary Messi and Barca coach Flick also agreed with his words.
He has scored 9 goals and assisted 13 goals in 24 matches this season, which could award him with an honor like the next Ballon d'or. Barcelona did not take to the field with full strength against Real Betis because Flick rested Robert Lewandowski, Marc Casado, and Alejandro so top players like Yamal and midfielder Gavi took to the field with special responsibility.
Lamine Yamal’s performance against Real Betis our impossible to describe.
We must not overlook the fact that he’s pulling off such preposterous, game-winning cameos at the age of 17.
Ansu Fati’s rise to the top of the mountain and tumble from it will always be a cautionary tale for the young man, but if Lamine remains injury free this season he’s arguably had far more bearing on how the team plays than Ansu ever did, to say nothing of the positional differences.
In terms of goals against that one - a peno from Barca’s on-loan striker, Vitor Roque - will particularly niggle Hansi Flick and so it should.
Other than that, it was a perfect performance, and had two more goals not been disallowed for the most pinpoint of offsides, Barca would have triumphed by seven goals to one.
Not only that, they were worth it as well and lucky they were not, and against a side like Betis who are undoubtedly quality, that is madness!
Much has been said and written already about Lamine, of course, but it is obviously not going to his head.
Hansi Flick opted for a strong starting XI with one or two being rested; mere days after helping to rip Real Madrid to shreds on a pitch proper pitch in the Spanish Super Cup.
Robert Lewandowski’s absence also enabled Dani Olmo to play a false nine position.
But while the Spaniard merits the spotlight, nobody is going to outshine Lamine Yamal.
He is a player brimming with self-confidence, with ego, with plenty of skill, and he is not afraid to put his full repertoire on display.
I mean, sometimes that’s not always the right call and that can be more than a bit frustrating, but then that little voice in the back of all of our heads kicks in; “he’s still just 17.”
Think about whats do you were at 17 years old.
Preparing to batter eternal foes, Real Madrid? Putting on a one-man show in the Copa del Rey? Neither? Thought not.
Wrap this boy in cotton wool because he is special now, but wait till you see what he will be like when he’s fully grown in a few years.
