Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal reportedly played painkillers in the first leg match of the Champions League semifinal against Inter Milan in the club’s 3-3 draw.
Before the game started, people caught the attention when Lamine Yamal experienced leg discomfort after shooting during a warm-up match. He briefly left the field for a physical examination, but medical staff thought it was very suitable for competition.
Despite being frightened, Yamal showed no signs of pain in the game and performed well.
Esport3’s report shows that discomfort is related to his right quadriceps, and it appears that he received a pain injection while playing the game to manage the problem.
However, Yamal and manager Hansi Flick maintained a positive outlook after the game, with Yamal downplaying the injury and expressing satisfaction with his fitness level.
Looking ahead, Barcelona is likely to implement a major rotation in their upcoming match against Real Valladolid.
After two intense matches against Real Madrid and Inter Milan, Barcelona faces the task of defeating the International Front to qualify for the Champions League final and maintain the highest position in La Liga in Spain.
Given the circumstances, there may be a Yamal tendency this time to engage in inter-conflicts.
After Yamal’s outstanding performance in the Champions League, Seram shared his thoughts, with Barcelona leading 3-3.
Meanwhile, after a 3-3 draw with FC Barcelona, Inter’s Marcus Thuram was asked if Lamine Yamal was the best player in the world.
Thuram answered: “I don’t think so. The best players in the world are the French, and the second best are Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé. Yamal is perhaps third.”
Thuram acknowledges the challenges of including players like Yamal, explains, “You can’t stop a player like that by yourself; it takes teamwork. Tag him on a double? Maybe you need 11 players…”
