FC Barcelona defeated Borussia Dortmund in Germany (2-3) in another great day for Lamine Yamal. The '19' was key by giving the assist for the victory and, after the match, he drew on self-criticism when evaluating the victory. The youngster spoke with 'Movistar +' in the mixed zone of Signal Iduna Park, remembering the weekend's failure in Andalusia.
"After the game against Betis it is something we had to learn. When we scored Ferrán's goal we should have known how to defend the result and today we were able to," argued the Mataró native. Barça squandered the minimum advantage twice, but were able to take the three points thanks to the 'Tiburón' double.
Regarding the Valencian's goals, Lamine was happy to strengthen a partnership on the field that has been giving very good results since the return of the '7' to action. "We understand each other very well. At the Benito Villamarín it was also a very similar action. I'm happy for him and for his two goals," said the '19', who also joked about the anti-doping control, as it had been a while since he had to undergo the test after a match.
Lamine also joked about his technical gestures 'a la Raphinha'
UEFA also awarded him as the MVP of the match thanks to the assist that led to the final 2-3 in the 85th minute. Previously, Barça had taken the lead thanks to a goal from Raphinha, who had to come off due to discomfort in his right calf that, luckily, did not cause a muscle injury.
Regarding the Brazilian, Yamal also joked about the excellent chemistry between the two. "I told Rafa that he had it," he began, laughing. "It's a resource (the pass with the outside) that I'm doing very well and that I will continue to do if it continues to help the team. It's something natural, it's not like I'm always practicing it in training," the youngster pointed out.
