the altar boy Lamine Yamal silences San Mamés and the Williams sing the songs

Debut in San Mamés and score a goal. Although scoring a goal is common, and even more so for a striker, scoring it in Bilbao has a lot of merit. And a lot of value if it serves to advance your team in the result. It is not just any field. Lamine Yamal appeared at the Cathedral at the age of an altar boy and silenced the parishioners, who never saw such a shameless young man. (Then they remembered a certain Leo Messi).

It has merit to debut with a great goal, not a lucky rebound like that of Robert Lewandowski, who stretched his left leg to give life to Barça. The goal that Villamarín’s post denied him in the test he made on Sunday so that the shot came out exemplary against Athletic. It was of no use. Iñaki Williams, fresh from the Africa Cup, and Nico Williams destroyed Lamine Yamal’s mark in extra time.

Iñaki Williams, recently arrived from the Africa Cup, and Nico Williams ruined Lamine Yamal’s mark in extra time.

The frenzy of the formidable duel, in which the youngest players shone, postponed the story of the unacceptable start of the Barça match for another day. Unacceptable for fitting the first goal at 36 seconds. Unacceptable because it was the third of the season received before the first minute after the one scored by Bryan Zaragoza for Granada at 17 seconds and Samu Omorodion for Alavés at 19 seconds. Against Real and Unionistas he gave the rival the first chance and avoided having to come back two more scores. Barça started badly and ended worse.

The arrival of a super class

The arrival of Lamine Yamal was announced as a future superclass, which is something that must be demonstrated daily, every day, and before completing the first year in the elite (from 15 to 16 years old, from cadet to youth, don’t forget) The prediction can be confirmed, which has lost value due to overuse, excessive use, very easy to give away.

A Lamine Yamal He only needs the goal in the Champions League and he will already have the beautiful and valuable poker of the four competitions it’s from the season. He made his debut in the League in Granada, beat Osasuna in the Super Cup and sang in the Cup. When he scores in Europe (Naples, February 21, first season), he will also become the youngest in history in the competition European.

That poker already belongs to Lewandowski, the oldest of the group, the starting nine, who already triumphed last year in the four. And Antoine Griezmann, and Ousmane Dembélé, and Luis Suárez and Neymar. And of course, Messi, in five and six competitions, after Pedro, the first in history in the first six out of six for Pep Guardiola’s Barça (2009). Super classes. What was said.

Balde broke, Christensen went out and Xavi turned to Héctor Fort and Pau Cubarsí: Barça’s half defense was 17 years old.

Shocking injury

Lamine Yamal scored and one of his best friends in the group could not congratulate him. She was crying his sorrow and her pain. Alejandro Balde had completely broken down. Three minutes earlier, in a conventional offensive raid, without reaching maximum speed and without fighting with any adversary. He was just running and noticed the stone on the back of his right leg. Stiff he stayed, and he was still stiff an hour later when he left the locker room, limping so obviously that he risks a long convalescence. So long that, surely, he will not be able to applaud Lamine Yamal in Naples in a month’s time.

Two premieres of 17 years

The injury was so moving, so heartbreaking (Athletic won), that San Mamés applauded him as he left. He took his place Héctor Fort, right back readapted to the left, 17 years old. Another premiere. He started by watching Adu Ares, then he dealt with Nico Williams and ended up facing Iñaki. He resisted the duels, until his muscles said enough, the ramps stopped him and he had to leave. There is no one left in that area, with Marcos Alonso injured and João Cancelo still tender to reappear.

Xavi used another youth: Pau Cubarsí, 17 years old fulfilled on Monday. Ronald Araujo was lame, but Andreas Christensen, who was replaced, was lame and reprimanded.
