Lamine Yamal is in the spotlight due to his outstanding performance against Galatasaray in the Champions League, making the latest news from FC Barcelona . The young Spanish international will continue to have a high volume of minutes both at the Catalan club and with Spain, as pointed out by Manu Carreño on El Larguero. The journalist argues that Barcelona sees it beneficial for the player to be constantly on the field, a management strategy similar to the status Leo Messi had during his time at the club.

The debate has intensified after the latest international break. Yamal, aged 19, played 281 minutes with Spain in four games, surpassing the 270-minute limit that Luis de la Fuente had previously set as a benchmark for his internationals. The forward started in all four matches.

Manu Carreño compares Lamine Yamal's status with Messi's

According to Manu Carreño, the matter isn’t just about Lamine Yamal's performance but the influence he already holds within the team. The El Larguero director believes it will be common to see the forward complete matches frequently, much like Messi did when he was a central piece at Barça.

Carreño emphasized that the comparison refers to the status and minutes management, not to equating the career paths of both players just yet. There is a strong belief within the club that continuous play benefits both Yamal's physical condition and his mental well-being. The start of this Barcelona season is not normal.

Recent statistics shed light on the discussion. Before the conclusion of the recent international break, Yamal had already featured in all official matches of the season and had accumulated 874 out of 990 possible minutes, 88.2% of the total. He then added the minutes from the fourth Spain game.

FC Barcelona maintains its commitment to Yamal's playing time

Even Hansi Flick's stance doesn't lean towards systematic rotation. After the return of the internationals, the coach mentioned that Lamine Yamal enjoys playing and praised his recovery ability due to his youth. The forward rejoined the group on October 8 following his international duties.

The subsequent schedule confirms this trend. Yamal continued to be central at FC Barcelona and was a starter again in the Champions League match against Galatasaray, where he played a significant role in the team's attacking output with assists.

Barcelona enhances Lamine's physical condition

The management is particularly crucial following the physical issues that led Barça to take precautions in September. On September 5, Yamal trained separately after a knock and didn't take part in the final session before the Valencia match.

The next checkpoint comes during a demanding stretch in Barcelona's schedule. Lamine Yamal keeps accruing starts, and FC Barcelona will face new Champions League and La Liga games in quick succession, indicating that Flick's upcoming line-ups will reveal how steadfast the strategy of keeping the forward on the field remains as minutes accumulate.
