Lamine Yamal was satisfied after helping Barca with two goals to win the derby against Girona. He assured that, to be one of the best, it is important to score and he hopes to continue in that form against Monaco in the next Champions League match.
Barcelona striker Lamine Yamal, who scored a brace in his side’s 4-1 win over Girona, said after the game that “to be one of the best, it’s also important to score”.
“In the end, to help the team, it’s important to score goals,” added the striker, who until now has been more known for his ability to assist than to score.
Yamal was happy with the performance of Hansi Flick’s side, as “the first game after coming back from the international break is always difficult”, and stressed that they went ‘straight’ for the game from the first minute.
With a clean sweep of league wins, Barca will make their Champions League debut against Monaco on Thursday. “It’s a game we’ve been looking forward to playing since the start of the season, because the Champions League is very special for us,” he said.
His team-mate Ansu Fati, who is still unavailable this season due to plantar fasciitis and who Lamine Yamal believes is “a special player that everyone is looking forward to seeing”, could make a comeback in Monaco. “I think he will be important for us in the end and hopefully he can help us on Thursday,” concluded the Barcelona striker.
