Lamine Yamal, a 19-year-old winger, is in the spotlight in the latest news from FC Barcelona as he received praises from Thierry Henry after starring in Barcelona's 1-4 victory over Galatasaray on October 13th in the Champions League. The Frenchman was interested in how he had prepared one of his dribbles, while the Spanish international made it clear in the interview that his team aims to achieve the treble.

The attacker ended the match with two assists, both in the second half, and was instrumental in overturning the initial goal by Aleksey Batrakov. He first participated in Fermín López's goal and then assisted Anthony Gordon after an individual play that impressed Henry.

Thierry Henry in awe of Lamine Yamal and his dribble

Thierry Henry was particularly impressed by a play where Lamine Yamal faked a rabona before beating his defender. The move allowed the Spanish player to create an advantage that his teammate capitalized on to score.

During their post-match conversation, the former Arsenal and Barcelona striker expressed his admiration for the young footballer's performance. However, he was most interested in understanding how he had decided to execute that move.

Yamal explained that he had noticed a pattern in his opponents in several games. When nearing the goal line, many defenders would dive to block his actions.

This circumstance led him to prepare a different fake. Instead of crossing directly, he used the rabona fake to trigger a defender's reaction and find the necessary space to continue the play. It's time to realize that Lamine Yamal is the new Messi.

The player also explained that dribbles serve a specific purpose in his game: to make opponents lose their position and have more time to decide whether to pass, cross, or shoot.

The Spanish international answered affirmatively, arguing that Barça should aim to win all competitions. He also expressed his belief that the Catalan team has the qualities to be considered the best team in the world.

His statements come after a start of the season where Barcelona has recorded 10 consecutive victories in all competitions. In Europe, the Catalan side has six out of six possible points after victories over Feyenoord and Galatasaray.
