Yamal Leads Barcelona Against PSG After Ballon d'Or Success
FC Barcelona's young sensation Yamal, 18, is raring to go against Barcelona after his impressive runner-up finish at the Ballon d'Or gala. Coach Hansi Flick urges him to focus on hard work to elevate his game further.
Yamal returned to action recently, providing an assist against Real Sociedad following his groin injury. His teammate Pedri believes Barcelona are favorites against PSG, aiming to avenge their 2024 quarter-final loss. However, PSG will be without several key players, including Dembele, Doue, and Kvaratskhelia.
Flick demands a strong defensive effort from his team against PSG's possession-heavy style. Hakimi warns about the challenge of stopping Yamal, citing Nuno Mendes' success against him in the past. Rashford has settled well on the left flank for Barcelona and is set to start against PSG. Last season, Barcelona won a domestic treble but fell short in the Champions League semi-finals to Inter Milan.
Yamal, fresh from his Ballon d'Or success, leads Barcelona against PSG on Thursday. Despite missing key players, PSG remains a formidable opponent. Flick emphasizes the importance of a solid defensive performance to secure a victory.
