Lamine Yamal praised after Barcelona approached the title with 4-3 Clasico victory over Real Madrid

Hansi Flick greeted Lamine Yamal’s impact after the 17 -year -old helped inspire Barcelona to a 4-3 victory on Real Madrid in an absorbent classic this afternoon.

Starting 2-0 to double by Kylian Mbappe, it seemed that Madrid went to cut Barça’s leadership at the top of the table to a lonely point before the house side again made devastating again.

Yamal scored the Igualada with another moment of individual brightness, adding to Eric Garcia’s goal, before two Raphinha strikes saw that the boat set a 4-2 advantage.

MBAPPE reduced the deficit by completing its hat-trick, and both parties had goals that were dismissed in the time of injury, while Barça remained to advance a victory of the league title.

Yamal lifted us – Flick

Asked about Yamal, Flick could not hide his admiration for the teenager by the way he and his colleagues bounced off his Champions League removal at Inter Milan a week.

The German said, “He is doing very well. He is confident, he believes in what he does and is very smart. For me the important thing was that after the defeat of Milan, my players got up, wait and is an example of a player who has done so, he has lifted.

“Today he has again lifted us with his goal and has made us return. He is 17 years old and what he is doing is what we are asking for him.”

However, for all its attacking glitter, Barcelona has awarded seven goals in its last two games and Flack agrees that it is an area where it sometimes lacks its team.

He added: “We need to improve a lot in defense, be more stable. When we press everything works well, but when you make a mistake, as in the first objective of the party, the situation is complicated.

“But the players have worked well collectively. Today we have a significant challenge, facing very fast players. We need to improve some defensive aspects, but with games every three days, you often can’t prepare the way you want to train.”

The league race could be done this week

If Madrid left the points at Real Mallorca on Wednesday night, the League will end.

If Madrid wins, Barca will have the opportunity to claim the title to the derby in Espanyol 24 hours later.

Flick said, “I still do not feel like a champion. It’s true that we are in a good position. It would be good to win three titles, but we still need one more victory and all rivals want to win against us.”
