Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal has issued a bold statement ahead of the highly anticipated El Clasico clash against Real Madrid this weekend.
After helping Barca secure a 4-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League, the teenager made it clear that his team is feeling unstoppable.
Barcelona ready for El Clasico: “We are proving it”
Speaking to reporters after the match, Yamal expressed his confidence: “Before this match, we were already feeling very confident, we believe we are the best team in the world, and I think we are proving it.
“We will go with all our strength, and may the best team win.”
The 17-year-old was part of a Barcelona team that dominated both Sevilla in La Liga and Bayern in Europe, scoring nine goals across the two matches.
Raphinha’s hat-trick and a goal from Robert Lewandowski against his former club saw Barcelona through to a convincing win over the German giants.
Yamal emphasized the importance of beating the Bavarian giants, stating: “It was very important to beat Bayern 4-1 in a very important week.
“We’re doing very well this season, but there’s always the worry of what will happen in the Champions League. We’re a great team and we’ve shown that.”
With Barcelona currently topping La Liga and preparing for a showdown against their fierce rivals Real Madrid, Yamal’s confidence is clear.
All eyes will be on the young star and his teammates as they look to carry their momentum into one of the biggest matches of the season.
