THE BIGGER PICTURE
Yamal has rapidly emerged as one of football's most exciting prospects, drawing comparisons to a young Lionel Messi. Richards, meanwhile, is known for his jovial personality as a pundit and promised to dye his hair if Barcelona win the Champions League, though he did add some caveats.
WHAT YAMAL AND RICHARDS SAID
Speaking on CBS Sports, Richards said: "If Barcelona win and it's not against Arsenal, I will dye my hair blonde for you. But then you need to come and speak to me after the game. Give me a shirt. We do a presentation. Everything. Perfect." Yamal grinned through the interview and agreed.

WHAT NEXT FOR YAMAL AND RICHARDS?
While the fate of Richards' hair now lies in Barcelona's hands, Yamal will be solely focused on the huge upcoming run of fixtures the Catalan giants have. They first visit Real Valladolid on Saturday before the return leg against Inter an San Siro next week.
