In this electric context, the player of Moroccan origin has emerged as the natural leader of the Catalan attack. In clear progression, the winger was the only one of the three attackers lined up to be present, making up for the lack of success of his teammates in front of the goal.

It was indeed he who gave hope to his own at the 28th minute with a stroke of genius. After eliminating Lookman, the Blaugrana gem delivered a millimeter-perfect cross for Bernal, leaving no chance to the Madrid defense. Lamine Yamal suffocated his opponents.

With a complete technical register, Lamine Yamal literally suffocated his opponents with his dribbles. The young prodigy succeeded in 14 of his 19 attempts, establishing himself as the main driving force of a team unable to find the gap otherwise.

Faced with the absence of Robert Lewandowski and the lack of sharpness of his attacking partners, Hansi Flick had to improvise. At the end of the game, Ronald Araújo played more than twenty minutes as a center-forward to try to snatch a qualification that had become unlikely.

Despite the elimination, Hansi Flick said he was proud of his players while conceding immense disappointment. If the Cup run ends here due to the result of the first leg, the fighting spirit shown in front of the public remains the foundation for the end of the season.
