Barcelona's Flick praises Yamal, 'not a kid,' as title beckons

In a thrilling El Clásico clash at La Manzana, Lamine Yamal’s decisive goal secured Barcelona a narrow 4-3 victory over Real Madrid, turning their LaLiga title race upside down. Yamal, a former Catalan star, sealed the deal after Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring and extended Barcelona’s lead with a double in extra time. Despite missed opportunities from teammates like Raphinha, who scored twice, Barcelona remains in contention for the title with just three games left. Manager Flick praised Yamal’s maturity and responsibility at such an young age while acknowledging the need to improve defensively ahead of next season.
