  • WHAT YAMAL SAID

    In an interview with Mundo Deportivo, the 16-year-old winger confidently asserted, "I can't wait for my first quarter-finals in UCL. Sometimes I think about how crazy this is when I'm in my room. In my opinion, we'll win 1-0 in Paris on Wednesday. Who scores? Me!".

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Addressing the prospect of facing PSG's formidable forward Mbappe, Yamal remained unfazed and insisted that he would remain committed to defensive duties. "I'll always try to help out the defender on my side, not just when it’s Mbappé. I did it before against Khvicha Kvaratskhelia."

    WHAT NEXT FOR YAMAL?

    With six goals and seven assists in 40 appearances for the club this season, the young winger has been instrumental in Barcelona's campaign. While he is yet to score in the Champions League, his contributions on the field have been invaluable and would be one of the players to watch out for during Wednesday's first-leg encounter at Parc des Princes.
