❗️DID YOU KNOW: Only 1 team in history has ever completed a come back after losing their first Champions League tie by 2 goals at home. It was Manchester United in 2019, led by Marcus Rashford.

I don’t know if Lamine Yamal is far off Prime Messi in dribbling. Finishing is a different story.

🚨🗣️ Hansi Flick on Lamine Yamal's frustration after tonight's game vs. Atlético Madrid: "Of course Lamine is frustrated. Everyone was frustrated... Lamine put on a fantastic match from start to finish, defensively and offensively." "Lamine had 1v1 situations, and he got past 3, 4, 5 players. That's unbelievable... As I said yesterday, he's only 18 years old. For me, he's delivering phenomenal work." "We have to support and protect him, that's the most important thing... We shouldn't make a big fuss over things that might not even be true. He's only 18 years old, COME ON!" "It's good to support him, it's good to protect him, even from the referees. Sometimes I feel like things aren't entirely fair, maybe not completely unfair, but they come close in some cases. And the referees should also protect this type of player." "It's not just him, I love this type of player, because they're the reason everyone goes to the stadium to watch football. Like Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, Lamine, Pedri…" "But sometimes I feel there's excessive roughness against them from referees. I know this might just be my perspective, but that's what I see." "I think it's good not to stop the match too much, but in some cases, it's necessary."

The craziest thing about Barca is that they continued to play the offside trap and jump the fullbacks in the press with 10 men. They are the only team in the world who would continue to play like that. Whatever you think about it, you must respect Hansi Flick’s belief system.

Llorente needs to be in world class conversations. He’s an 8.5/10 at multiple positions. He’s Spain’s best right back at this moment and can play as a CM/RM/ST…even CB at times. Fitness is an underrated skill in football and there may not be a fitter player in the world.
