It is fine if they whistle at Lamine Yamal... The hot takes from the Sevilla-Barça match
Raphinha becomes the modern Pelé in a match in which Barça shows character after the local goal
BarcelonaRaphinha is Barça's King Midas this season. To find similar statistics, one must speak of a certain Lionel Messi. With an exhibition from the Brazilian, the blue and garnet team continues winning and continues scoring goals. And, in this case, in a complicated scenario such as Sevilla's stadium. Barça can now go on vacation now that the League is pausing.
O Captain! my Captain!
What a player, Raphinha. And to think that more than one person wanted to sell him. The Brazilian has become the offensive benchmark of the moment, a forward who scores as many goals or more than Harry Kane or Mbappé. It is like the reincarnation of Pelé. His movements are those of a classic center-forward, even though it is a position he theoretically does not master. He is the true leader of this Barça. He already deserves to be remembered just as we do with Romário, Ronaldinho or Rivaldo, right? Even he himself could not help but laugh when he saw that he had scored three goals. Everything is going well for him. May it last.
The whistles at Lamine Yamal
If I were the coach of a team that has to face Barça, I would ask my fans not to whistle at Lamine Yamal. In fact, they should ignore him. As if he weren't there. Haven't football fans understood that the genius from Rocafonda is like Michael Jordan? If they whistle at him, he gets motivated. If the atmosphere is hostile, his performance will improve. It's actually good if they whistle at him. It gives him fuel. In the first half they poked at him and he responded with a good game, handing out an assist. He doesn't get scared, this boy. The ideal partner for Raphinha.
Logic prevails in goal
He was not to blame for the goal in the Sevilla play and, in general, he did not look out of place. But watching Szczesny you realize the difference with Joan Garcia, who has an impact on the game and provides more calm. Waiting for his return, Flick made the right decision by playing the Pole. Due to age and performance, he must be the second goalkeeper, no matter how likable Wojciech Szczesny may be. Life has gifted the Pole some magnificent final years of his career, but Szczesny is the one who should be the substitute.
Christensen's injury
How football is. All of Barcelona's fan base happy, Raphinha scoring goals by the bucketload, the fans jumping in the stands... and one man alone crying on the bench. What a shame, Christensen's injury, a good footballer mortified by injuries. There is a certain cruelty in his case, since, logically, these days the fans will talk about Raphinha and Flick. There will be no talk of a man who has worked hard to forget his injuries and be a protagonist. And when it seems that everything has passed, he breaks down again. Very hard.
