Barcelona's top prospect Ramin Yamal (17) said he wants to become a club legend.
Barcelona beat Bayern Munich 4-1 in the third leg of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League (UCL) league phase at 4 a.m. on the 24th (Korea Standard Time) at the Estadi Olympics Lyuis Companis in Barcelona, Spain.
Ahead of the match, Munich coach Vincent Kompany mentioned Yamal. "It is unusual for Barcelona to have a Yamal-like player not long after a player like Messi left. Messi was one of the key figures of our time," he said.
He went on to say, "It is very unusual to have a player who can replace such a player not long after he leaves. La Masia always believes in these players and gives them a chance. 메이저놀이터
Still, he said he would not be overly conscious of Yamal. Kompany said, "The important thing for us is not to stop Yamal, but to win the match against Barcelona. This means stopping all players, not just one. We should focus on the team, not one player, but he is an outstanding Yamal player."
Yamal started as Barcelona's right flanker on the day. Munich's defense kept Yamal in check from the beginning of the game, but he countered with his unique ball-keeping and dribbling.
He also scored a point of attack. In the 10th minute of the second half, when Barcelona made counterattack, Yamal sent a long pass to Hafinha, who shook the Munich net with a accurate left-footed shot. Thanks to Yamal's performance, Barcelona won the match 4-1.
After the game, Yamal said, "I want to be remembered as a legend in Barcelona's history. To leave a legacy is wonderful. To be part of this great club's history is amazing."
Yamal is a super-special prospect that Barcelona and Spain are looking forward to. In Spain, Yamal is considered a talent to succeed Lionel Messi. He made his professional debut in the 2022-23 season when he was 15, setting a record for the youngest league appearance in Barcelona's history.
Last season, Yamal's potential was fully realized. He had seven goals and 10 assists in 50 matches. After the end of the season, he contributed greatly to Spain's victory in Euro 2024. Yamal is still active this season. He has five goals and seven assists in 13 matches.
