I haven't watched Barca keep this many clean sheets in a long time😂.
"We're waiting and waiting and waiting… and I know he's 18 years old"
Exactly. You answered your own daft comment…
Barca is good , but still can be beaten by any top teams in 2026, before its all over.
Win and move on. Every game won’t be dominant
these pundits cry about more but wont know about his pubalgia
Love how this guy shows unconditional love for barca
Lamine isn't Messi, he's Neymar. He's the target that moves the defense towards him so that the team has space for Ferran, Fermín, Rapha & others to score. How can you NOT see this? This is when you know these people read more stats than they watch actual football.
Yamal doesnt got Messi ability, not even close,this is why he is struggling, comparing him to messi wtf
Masha'allah I pray all the players continue to be fit and in form without any problem's what so ever 🤲🏿🤲🏿🤲🏿
Visca Barca 💙❤️
I don't know what these guys are talking about. Yamal was pretty much never in a 1v1 situation. Could've had 2 assists. Put Koundé through to cut back into the box a few times. Nothing spectacular, but a completely fine game. Not easy to play against a back 5, especially when you're the guy who always gets at least 2 defenders to deal with.
But we have to talk about Yamal, because even though talking about someone like Bernal would be more interesting, most people don't even know who he is.
Who are these clowns…wtf are you talking about? Lamine played fairly well but he needs rest. Dude is 18! He has more scorer points in 100 games than Messi. I think that says it all. I don't say he is better than Messi (no one is).
Let them win gradually in Europe. Please don’t overhype it. We all know we still need to improve our defence, especially in the UCL.
So please, don’t overhype.
Forca Barca ❤💙
Offensively, Kounde is such a liability. I believe it's one of the reasons Lamine often does way too much in matches. As good as Messi was, even he needed a Dani Alves. I hope Cancelo will lighten the load.
Just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to be blind to the truth. Yamal didn't have a great game last night not anything close to his standards. 99% off the people commenting here which game did y'all watch?😕 When he is having a 10 out of 10 game which he almost always has we praise him to a godly level and similarly when he's not having a good game we also need to be honest about that as well. Yamal didn't have a great game last night not anything close to his standards. And that's the truth. Stop being biased.
11wins in a row 🔥🔥🔥💯
The thing about Lamine is that he plays on instinct. He needs to continue getting this experience in these moments. The indecision or bad decision making in the final third isn't going to last forever. I thing by the end of the this season, we'll start seeing a different Lamine. You need time to adapt to a new level. Yes he's incredible, but being decisive and turning into a killer takes time.
Am a Barcelona fan but I think the best team in Europe right now is Bayern Munich followed by Arsenal then Barcelona.
Get the job done that is the most important thing
9:00 – Arsenal and PSG are both way ahead of those two. You could also throw in Bayern
I would have liked to see Roony start this game, to give Yamal a rest. He's definitely shown that he's good enough
Why are they still talking about real Madrid I thought I came here to hear about Barcelona
Idk what they are talking about he was playing very very well for Goethe game went, at the end he got the goal he was looking for all game
That's the Man right there❤️. Giving props to Barca big time for bringing back entertainment to football. As a Barca fan, I'm so so proud of my team playing like this.. We Color Football🔵🔴.
And f*ck ESPN. You guys are the best❤️👍
People calling lamine is in his prime at 18 is just dumb.. that’s what everyone says when messi is at 19-21 he won his first ballondor at 22
As a Barca fan Best team in the world Bayern, Arsenal, City then Barca. All of these teams I have better defense in my opinion
He's playing with injury rn which shouldn't be happening I don't know what this club is doing
Agree that sometimes Lamine does not know what exactly he wants to do with the ball.
Cant forget Fermin Lopez. I feel like nearly every game he is on the pitch he is contributing a goal or assist. Such a underrated talent
We still need to prove ourselves in UCL
The truth is that yamal could had 2 assists today if rashford and fermin didn t miss the goals ,it happens a lot to him and pedri but anyway that was not a bad game at all for lamine especially the very high standard we expect from a young superstar like him
I like the commentary asking more from lamine yamal. The standard for him is high, but that's because he can do more. Asking him to dribble like Messi isn't fair, but he has the capability to do it. And to do that, it means thinking not just 1-2 plays ahead, but 3-4. Knowing which space you want to attack and optimizing the few moves around a defender to get there, and then knowing what to do with the ball next. He needs to consistently develop that more defined vision of the field in front of him and how the field will change when he acts on it. He has the dribbling, passing, and finishing to do it, but solving that puzzle before/as you receive the ball is when he will become truly generational.
Marc Bernal looks promising. Bro looks like a CB in that midfield standing at 6’4.
As a Barcelona fan, it surprises me how much these pundits underestimate Arsenal. Isn’t it funny that whenever they discuss best teams in Europe they are so reluctant to place Arsenal up there. I don’t understand their reasoning but Arsenal will shut them all up from what I’ve seen so far. I will hope they don’t win the UCL over Barca but they are definitely one to take extremely serious.
