Lamine Yamal has broken his silence after Barcelona’s 2-0 loss to Atltico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final first leg. Goals from Julin Rubares and Alexander Sorloth have pushed Rose to the brink and the only way to reach the semi-finals is with a win.
If the game ends in a draw, the game will go to overtime, but to avoid that, they need to win by at least three points. It’s difficult, but not impossible. And Yamal made it clear.
Yamal’s message to Rose fans
Barra played with one fewer player from the 44th minute until the second half due to Pau Cubers’ red card. A minute later, Atltico Madrid took the lead with a free kick. Ibarez converted this into a corner to make it 1-0.
In the 70th minute, Sorloth entered Barcelona’s box and connected with Matteo Ruggieri’s cross from the left flank to score.
The final score was 0-2, and the 18-year-old, who was one of the standout players for Hansi Flick’s side, did not hide his pain at the loss handed to Cholo Simeone’s side.
After the match, he thought for a few minutes on the Camp Nou pitch, looking disappointed, disappointed and angry at the result. But 12 hours after the defeat, Lamine rose like a phoenix and sent Calfan a message of hope and a promise.
“This is not over, Kuraz. I will give my all in the second leg. Everyone, Sempre,” Yamal wrote on his official Instagram account, along with a photo of himself crouched down and exhausted at the end of the match.
Fans were quick to react, with one fan saying, “You’re number one. We’re expecting a comeback.” “Thank you for giving your soul to this club,” added another. “We’re with you guys. We love you win or lose,” a third fan declared.
“We believe in your magic, Lamine Yamal, let’s go all out,” another follower added. “I will go to the ends of the earth with you,” another user told him.
The message is clear: don’t give up. Now, for the second leg, Atltico Madrid will host Lamine Yamal and co at the Metropolitano on April 14th, and will look to protect their 2-0 lead from the first leg, with the visitors looking to make a comeback.
