Young Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has made a playful remark directed at Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone ahead of their highly anticipated La Liga encounter.
The Catalan giants are preparing for a trip to the Metropolitano stadium for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie. Barcelona faces an uphill battle, needing to overturn a two-goal deficit from the first leg played last week.
Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old sensation, is expected to start on the right wing. Speaking at a press conference on the eve of the match, Yamal seized the opportunity to address Diego Simeone with a humorous request.
“I’m feeling good! Let’s see if Simeone does me a favor and lets me have a one-on-one tomorrow…” Yamal stated.
