Teenage sensation shines in new role, earning manager’s praise for defensive work and connection in Barcelona’s goal-filled victory.
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick had only glowing words for young star Lamine Yamal after the teenager delivered another standout performance in the thrilling 5-3 win over Real Betis on Saturday.
In an attacking masterclass, the 17-year-old seized the spotlight. Deployed in a new central role as a number 10, Yamal responded with a complete performance, capped off by a goal in a chaotic and entertaining match in Seville.
His manager was effusive in his praise after the final whistle, singling out the young Spaniard’s all-around contribution.
“Everything I saw from Lamine was good,” Flick told reporters. “His connection with [Roony] Bardghji was good. The most important part was his defensive contribution. He was amazing.”
Yamal’s display at La Cartuja was a showcase of his rapid evolution from a dazzling winger into a more complete attacking force. Beyond his goal, his dribbling, passing, and relentless defensive work-rate caught the eye, justifying Flick’s decision to trust him with a central creative responsibility.
The victory itself was a rollercoaster, but Yamal’s performance provided a consistent and brilliant through-line, offering Barcelona fans a thrilling glimpse into a future increasingly built around their homegrown phenom.
