Barcelona is set to continue their winning streak in La Liga as they host Getafe tonight at Montjuic Stadium, aiming for their seventh consecutive victory this season. Currently, Barcelona leads the La Liga standings with 18 points from six matches, just one point ahead of Real Madrid, who have a game in hand.
According to the Catalan newspaper “Sport,” coach Hansi Flick has stated that he does not plan to rotate Lamine Yamal, despite speculation about his need for rest. Given the busy schedule and injuries to several key players, Flick emphasized that Yamal remains crucial to the team’s preparations. He remarked, “Lamine does not need rest at the moment. We will monitor his condition, but I don’t believe he requires a break.” This reflects Flick’s strong confidence in the 16-year-old’s ability to maintain his impressive performance.
Yamal has demonstrated remarkable maturity for his age, allowing him to start in several important matches and play a key role in Barcelona’s strategy with his wing play and vision.
Discussing Yamal’s future, Flick highlighted his significant potential, stating, “Quality has nothing to do with age. Can he become the best? Possibly in the future, for sure.”
For now, Lamine Yamal will continue to be a vital part of Barcelona’s lineup, with Flick expressing confidence in his ability to help navigate a challenging season.
