Lamine Yamal is hoping to make an impact in Saturday’s El Clasico clash at the Santiago Bernabeu. Barcelona 17-year-old forward Lamine Yamal is hoping to make an impact in Saturday’s Clasico against Real Madrid. After failing to live up to expectations in his first taste of La Liga action last season, Diario Sport reports on Friday.
Yamal has been instrumental to Barcelona’s impressive start to the season. And the 17-year-old forward will be hoping to score the deciding goal in Saturday’s Clasico. And that could happen if he can win a one-on-one duel with Los Blancos left-back Ferland Mendy UFABET
‘Normally I look at the full-back and I go all out to face him. It’s a feeling I’ve never had before.’ Yamal said.
The 17-year-old forward is also hopeful about the legacy he wants to create with the Catalan giants in the future. Saying: ‘I want people to remember me in the history of Barcelona as a legend.’
‘Thank you Barcelona for making me who I am today. They gave me everything. I want to stay here for the rest of my life. In the end, my life depends on football.’
It was a result which sent the Catalans six points clear at the top of La Liga. Ending Real Madrid’s 42-match unbeaten league run and preventing Los Blancos from equalling Barca’s own record.
