That was the moment he came off the bench, made a classy assist with his first touch for Lewandowski to head the ball, bringing Barca a 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad last weekend. This result helped Barca climb to the top of La Liga after 7 rounds, pushing Real Madrid down.

“ Yamal is very good with the ball and that is what makes the difference ,” Hansi Flick praised and was happy to have the service of this talent in the important match, Barca against PSG in the Champions League .

However, he tried to bring his student back down to earth from the excessive praise, warning him that he still had a lot to work towards to reach a higher level:

“ For me, it is not good to over-hype a player like that. Lamine Yamal is excellent but there are many other excellent players in the team.

He is only 18 and needs to focus on his training. Lamine Yamal has talent and can reach new heights and even go further.

But to achieve that, talent alone is not enough, it requires more effort from him. Not only playing football, but also defending. That is what we need from all Barca players, not just him .

Barca will play PSG with both teams missing key attacking players. On the home side, Raphinha will be out, while Dembele, who just won the 2025 Ballon d'Or, will also be absent due to not recovering from injury.
