Lamine Yamal, a winger for Barcelona, has thanked the club’s ex-manager Xavi Hernandez for giving him the opportunity to make his professional debut with the Blaugrana.
Lamine Yamal’s recognition followed his instrumental contribution to Barcelona’s capture of the 2024-2025 LaLiga title, with a 2-0 win over Espanyol on Thursday. In this match, Yamal excelled by netting two vital goals, and Fermin Lopez added another to ensure victory for the team under Hansi Flick’s management.
After the game ended, Yamal considered Xavi’s significant impact on his career and the team’s success, saying, “I’d like to thank Xavi; without him, this achievement would not have been possible.”
The 17-year-old winger emphasized the significance of Xavi’s faith in young players, saying, “He provided us with the opportunity to make our debuts, and for that, I am truly grateful.”
Xavi, a legendary figure who has not only donned the Barcelona jersey as a player but has also shaped the team’s strategies as a coach, played a vital role in nurturing the next generation of talent at the club.
