Yamal thanked Flick for not being there: "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have reached this level"

Young star of the "Barcelona" team, Lamin Yamal, shared heartfelt thoughts about the team's former head coach Xavi Hernandez after the season ended. Yamal, who was one of the key players in the team that won the Spanish championship in the 2024/25 season, emphasized the invaluable role Xavi played in his reaching this level.

"Xavi created the opportunity for young players like us to debut in the 'Barsa' team. I want to sincerely thank him for his trust and guidance. If he hadn't been there, I wouldn't have been able to reach my current level," Yamal said.

The fruit of a coach who believed in youth

Xavi Hernandez paid great attention to involving the young generation of the team in the first team during his time. Players like Lamin Yamal, Fermin Lopes, and Pau Kubarsi took their first steps onto the big stage precisely during his era. This trust further demonstrated the results of "Barsa's" continuously developing academy — La Masia.

Results are high during Flick's era

No matter how much gratitude is expressed to Xavi, the newly appointed head coach Hans-Dieter Flick has taken the team to a new level. Under the leadership of the German specialist, the team concluded the season with three major trophies — La Liga championship, Copa del Rey, and Supercopa.

Yamal was able to fully showcase himself during this successful season. His speed on the left wing, technical skills, and despite his youth, his decisive play are highly appreciated by specialists and fans alike.
