Hansi Flick confirms Lamine Yamal wanted to be substituted to give Ansu Fati some minutes vs Borussia Dortmund

What a statement performance from Barça—and what a classy gesture from Yamal. For a 17-year-old to not only be tearing it up on the biggest stage but also thinking about teammates like Ansu Fati says a lot about his maturity.

Flick clearly has a great dynamic forming, and this level of squad harmony—mixed with lethal form from the likes of Raphinha and Lewandowski—is exactly why they look so dangerous heading into the second leg. That “we’ll have to play in Dortmund like we did today” line shows Flick isn’t letting anyone get comfortable either.

This team feels like it’s cooking at the right time, yeah?
