Barcelona achieved a big victory over Betis (4-0) in the match that was held between them yesterday, Saturday, at Camp Nou, in the 32nd round of the Spanish Premier League, and strengthened its lead in the competition standings with 79 points.
Xavi will always be the coach who first showed Lamine Yamal a career at just 15 years old. The Catalan boss has been evident for nearly a month when he included him in first-team training.
And Yamin Yamal came on as a substitute in the 83rd minute of the Barcelona-Real Betis match, becoming the youngest player to participate with the Catalan club in the Spanish League in history.
Xavi said of him after the match: “I told him to try things. He’s 15 years old, and yet he’s talented and a special player. He has shown his abilities. He’s not afraid, he was close to scoring, and he helped the team.”
He added, “When you see him in training, you see that he can be a great and very important player in the future. He has a talent that is hard to find in world football. He communicates well and is smart.”
Xavi continued his praise, saying: “He is similar to Messi and Ansu Fati with his innate talent. He doesn’t look like he is 15 years old. He is more mature than his age. I always see him ready in training and he can be different with more self-confidence. He could represent an era at the club.”
