I don't think that anyone have underrated Yamal only if that person is a sadist. Yamal brought back life to Barcelona after he was promoted to the senior team by Xavi. His performance is outstanding and extra ordinary for his age. Barcelona will do everything in their power to make sure that they build and nurse him for their long-term benefit.

Anytime Lamine Yamal is fully fit to play for Barcelona, Barcelona always plays well and wins most of their matches but if Lamine Yamal is injured, Barcelona's performance usually declines and they will struggle to win their matches, so I agree that "Lamine Yamal brought back life to Barcelona after he was promoted to the senior team." Barcelona is already paying Lamine Yamal big money so that he can remain a Barcelona player for a very long time.

Barcelona is a team that needs every single player of their squad to be active and that includes even the defenders although I understand the fact to what you are pointing out but I think Barcelona instead misses when an important player is missing in their squad and that includes the likes lamine yamal, Robert lewandoski, rafinha and even pedri. If any of these guys are missing in their gameplay their performance tend to drop a bit .

Barcelona, ​​of course, achieves results based on the performance of certain players. A player like Yamal, in particular, has a significant impact on them. If Yamal is on a good day, they become a team that makes a difference. However, if he's not playing well, they can drop points. Therefore, they're a bit unlucky, as not every player has a good substitute on the bench. Real Madrid is luckier in this regard. They have the opportunity for many players to come off the bench and change the game.

They have the opportunity for many players to come off the bench and change the game.

Not only Barcelona ​​every team has a few important players who can be relied on and who make the team win most of the time. In the case of Barcelona, ​​​​not only Yamal but also Raphinha, Rashford and Lewandowski are important players. Everyone contributes to the victory of a team by contributing to the goal. Everyone tries to perform their duties professionally but not everyone's talent is the same. If we consider Real Madrid, Mbappé scores goals in almost every match and he has a lot of talent to score goals and other players also score goals and assist goals.

Unfortunately due to the ability of the opposing team's players, despite being good players they do not get goals. Sometimes luck plays an important role in winning.

[kriminall]

Hansi Flick really love Yamal and they can't bench him because is a key player for the club and without him Barcelona don't usually perform well because they is not a key player like him in the club and they need to find a replacement for the boy so that he won't be feelings is self in the clubs. I don't really like the boy because the way he speak to is legend sometimes, but I see he as calm down very well, he is maintaining is self very well.

Hansi Flick loves and respect all his players not just Yamal alone. Yamal isn't the most important player as every player is important to the team. If not for the assist from his team mates, Yamal wouldn't shine in Barcelona. Yamal goals is as a result of the assists he gets.
Raphinha or Rashford can fill in as a replacement for Yamal, I don't see him more special than the rest of the team. I think Raphinha plays better than yamal, only that people don't see it.  The reason why Barcelona performance reduce drastically is because of Raphinha absence.

Raphinha is far more experienced than Yamal, but as a team, they are all equally important. No one can deny that Yamal has become the main focus whenever someone talks about Barcelona, and I think over time he will certainly grow into a great player like the other Barcelona legends. Regardless of each player influence within the team, Hansi Flick is hoping to have his full squad available again. Injuries to key players often disrupt a team progress, and Hansi Flick is now beginning to face that problem.

Of course, no manager wants to see injured players on their team, but they must be prepared for such situations. This is the situation at Barcelona right now. Hansi Flick must devise the best tactics to achieve success despite injured players. Because dropping points in the league means losing the championship. You can't take that risk with a team like Barcelona. You have to win every match because you have a rival like Real Madrid.

[Scarlett_23]

Agree with you that for now Yamal is a key player for Barcelona because he is not only young, but he is talented and at many moments he is a savior for Barcelona. Even though Raphinha is also important for Barcelona, Yamal's presence on the pitch makes Barcelona's game better... He has a good game on the wing, and is quite the type to create opportunities which can give Barcelona an advantage, especially if he is played with Lewandowski.
That's what makes him feel different and special compared to other players at Barcelona because he brings the game you rarely see in someone his age.

Both Yamal and Raphinha are the key players of Barcelona. Both of them are important players, they are talented and skillful players. Their presence in the game can make the difference for Barcelona game. So, I don't think we need to assume one of them is better. Lewandowski is also another key player in Barcelona attacking line. Although he is sometimes replaced by Torres, I think Lewandowski has a more influence for Barcelona game. He is a real striker who can play more effective than Ferran Torres. Unfortunately, Lewandowski often get injured because he is already 37 years old. Barcelona can't deny that they need a new pure striker who can replace the role of Lewandowski.

Raphinha has performed very well in the 2024-25 season. Barcelona has achieved great success due to his extraordinary performance. When Raphinha and Yamal are on the field, the chemistry between the two is very frightening for the opponent. Raphinha is a very experienced player.

On the other hand, Lamine Yamal is young and a very good player, but Raphinha is his good mentor because of his experience. That is why Raphinha guides Yamal very well. We have seen Yamal score goals with the ball created by Raphinha, the two are extraordinary as a pair.

[Tamaperdana]

Barcelona, ​​of course, achieves results based on the performance of certain players. A player like Yamal, in particular, has a significant impact on them. If Yamal is on a good day, they become a team that makes a difference. However, if he's not playing well, they can drop points. Therefore, they're a bit unlucky, as not every player has a good substitute on the bench. Real Madrid is luckier in this regard. They have the opportunity for many players to come off the bench and change the game.

I don't think Barcelona is that kind of team, although it's true that Yamal is always a key player in every match, but that doesn't mean Barcelona wins because of Yamal alone. Because the other players in Barcelona also play a very important role in every match played by Barcelona. Because if the other players in Barcelona perform poorly, I'm sure even if Yamal can play very well, Barcelona will most likely still struggle to win. Because basically in football, teamwork is the main thing, and can't just rely on one player. So, I personally disagree with the assumption you said about Yamal.

Because basically, if Yamal is not given opportunities by Barcelona's midfielders, I'm sure he will struggle. For example, yesterday when many Barcelona players were injured, we can see for ourselves that Barcelona's performance really declined even though Yamal was there and not injured. So from there you can judge that Yamal alone will not be enough to make Barcelona a great team. Because there has never been a history of one player being able to make a team champion.



Furthermore, Barcelona will face Bilbao in their next match. I hope they can secure another three points. Barcelona is really getting closer to the top of the table, so they shouldn't waste this golden opportunity to catch up with Real Madrid.

Squad depth will determine the coach's approach to rotating players to avoid injuries. Players who are given more playing time without rotation are more likely to suffer injury or fatigue. Barcelona has a strong rivalry with Real Madrid, and if the coach fails to maintain proper player rotation, it will affect the team's performance in competing for the title. The opposite is true for Real Madrid, because mistakes made by the coach can cause problems because rotation is necessary, and no player is ready to play the full match. Both Hansi Flick and Xabi Alonso must be smart about rotating players, because rotation errors can also cost the team points due to the ineffectiveness of their strategy.

[Solokan]

Real Madrid currently leads the standings with 31 points, while Barcelona has 28 points. It can certainly be said that the competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid is still tight because the point difference between the two teams is not far apart. Of course, this season Real Madrid is highly ambitious to win the trophy, as they failed to become champions last season due to Barcelona's superior performance. However, Barcelona also aims to reclaim the title this season and will not allow any other team to win La Liga. Currently, predicting who has the potential to win the trophy this season is certainly not easy because there are still many matches to be played. However, in my opinion, the teams with the potential to become champions are Barcelona or Real Madrid. But I have a feeling that Barcelona has the potential to win the trophy this season because, in my opinion, Real Madrid's performance is currently declining, which is why Real Madrid couldn't beat Rayo in their last match. I'd like to know your thoughts—who do you think will win the trophy this season?

You be hoping while these players know this is not a time to take chances. You know they have a game against Chelsea in the Champions League so they will do their possible best to wrap up this win in a flash. The absence of Pedri do not even scare me or make me bother. Athletico Bilbao are not even in a good form. Clubs like Newcastle Liverpool and Dortmund have dealt with them this season already Barcelona causing more damages should be expected. A three goals to to nothing will happen. Catching Real Madrid and overtaking them will happen too.

I will agree with you that Barcelona will win Bilbao with no stress, but saying that Barcelona will meet Real Madrid in points and also overtake them in the table will be very hard. People can still have doubts about Barcelona winning Bilbao, because even as Bilbao’s performance is poor, things can change. But on the other hand, Real Madrid will be playing against Elche, which is a sure win for them. So even if Barcelona win Bilbao, they will still stay behind Real Madrid, as they are ahead of them by 3 points. Therefore, for Barcelona to overtake Real Madrid, Real Madrid would have to lose two games, which will hardly happen considering their current performance.

[alankasman]

Raphinha has performed very well in the 2024-25 season. Barcelona has achieved great success due to his extraordinary performance. When Raphinha and Yamal are on the field, the chemistry between the two is very frightening for the opponent. Raphinha is a very experienced player.

Logically, we need to think that a team as big as Barcelona wouldn't buy players haphazardly, especially as they are a major team in La Liga and across all European leagues. All teams, when recruiting players, often look at their aggressive performances with their previous teams, so that when other teams want to sign them, Raphinha is a prime example of this. He consistently displayed aggressive performances with Leeds United during his time in the Premier League.
Furthermore, now at Barcelona, ​​Raphinha has found a partner who performs exceptionally well when they play together, making Barcelona's attacking play increasingly fluid, opening up their goal-scoring opportunities both in La Liga and across all competitions.
"Young is very dangerous," we can attribute to Yamal, but with several senior players in the Barcelona squad, he needs to learn more to improve his performance stability so that Yamal and Raphinha can continue the team's glory days when the squad depth was still filled by the Messi, Xavi, and Inesista era.

Athletic Bilbao used to be more powerful and competitive when they faced top clubs in the past seasons. Right now they aren't doing well since the beginning, they lost in European competitions but also in La Liga even against weaker clubs.
The odds for this match are less than 1.5 for Barcelona and over 6.5 for Athletic Bilbao. The game will take place in Barcelona and all stats are showing the superiority of Barcelona except injuries, they have several players injured and they have to avoid adding others in the list before Champions League next match.

[Rgram]

Anytime Lamine Yamal is fully fit to play for Barcelona, Barcelona always plays well and wins most of their matches but if Lamine Yamal is injured, Barcelona's performance usually declines and they will struggle to win their matches, so I agree that "Lamine Yamal brought back life to Barcelona after he was promoted to the senior team." Barcelona is already paying Lamine Yamal big money so that he can remain a Barcelona player for a very long time.

It’s completely wrong to say Barcelona only started playing well because Lamine Yamal was promoted. No lies, he’s an unbelievable talent and he definitely adds life and creativity to the team, nobody can argue that. But acting like Barcelona had no structure, no quality, or no good football before Yamal came into the senior squad is a big lie.

Before his breakthrough, Barcely already had strong players, a solid system, and good performances under Xavi. The team’s problems were never about lacking one teenager, they were about injuries, defensive issues, and consistency, not Yamal. Even now, when Yamal plays, he makes the team better, but Barcelona’s performance still depends on many things. tactics, squad depth, midfield control, and the overall balance of the team.

So yes, Yamal is important, maybe even their brightest young star  but he is not the only reason Barcelona wins, and he didn’t single-handedly bring life back to the whole club. That narrative is an exaggeration. Football is bigger than one player, especially one who is still young and still developing physically.

Egii Nna you are correct, one thing I know is that Real Madrid is very determined this season they really want to lift the la Liga title and I think they are putting more focus in the la Liga title even more than the champions League because they know the competition in the champions League is very huge and they may not have the chance to lift the champions League trophy but if they are consistent in Winning matches they can get the la Liga trophy since they are the one that is already topping the league table.
So for Barcelona to top the league it will be very difficult for them because I'm very sure that Real Madrid will not allow that to happen that easily, Real Madrid will try as much as possible not to lose matches like that again.

I don't think that anyone have underrated Yamal only if that person is a sadist. Yamal brought back life to Barcelona after he was promoted to the senior team by Xavi. His performance is outstanding and extra ordinary for his age. Barcelona will do everything in their power to make sure that they build and nurse him for their long-term benefit.

Barcelona is a team that needs every single player of their squad to be active and that includes even the defenders although I understand the fact to what you are pointing out but I think Barcelona instead misses when an important player is missing in their squad and that includes the likes lamine yamal, Robert lewandoski, rafinha and even pedri. If any of these guys are missing in their gameplay their performance tend to drop a bit .

Barcelona, ​​of course, achieves results based on the performance of certain players. A player like Yamal, in particular, has a significant impact on them. If Yamal is on a good day, they become a team that makes a difference. However, if he's not playing well, they can drop points. Therefore, they're a bit unlucky, as not every player has a good substitute on the bench. Real Madrid is luckier in this regard. They have the opportunity for many players to come off the bench and change the game.

Barcelona are a very good team, that are playing a very good football right now, A player like Yamal deserves to play every game, he has been the main man in the team and a big factor to Barcelona success in the team, and Hamsi Flick knows about this and I know it’s not new to him, when Lamine Yamal isn’t playing Barcelona would be very very poor, and there would be every tendency of him loosing games and dropping points, I think they should try and manage his game time and try to keep him fit because right now he is very young it’s important to manage players fitness is very important.

Raphinha is indeed an excellent individual, having demonstrated his significant contribution to Barcelona since his arrival, Last season Raphinha and Yamal were both successful, contributing significantly to Barcelona's La Liga title triumph.
However Raphinha is currently injured and there's no guarantee he'll return to peak form quickly, Furthermore Lewandowski's aging and injury-prone nature makes things difficult for Barcelona management, so the team must take several steps to further strengthen their attack.

Raphinha had a huge season the last time indeed. It was the closest one for him to go for a Ballon d'Or as well. He says that he can do it again to try his luck with this award again.

However I doubt it a lot. Because he has already missed 9 games in total so far because of his injury. He could miss the Athletic Bilbao game ahead too. It won't be easy for him to make up for those times in the rest of the season.

Player rotation is a crucial part of every team's strategy, especially now that the schedule is increasingly congested, allowing coaches to do this repeatedly for domestic matches to keep players fit for much tougher matches like the Champions League. Currently, the Barcelona team still has several injured players, although some others have recovered, and overall, the team's condition will still not be optimal if its key players are still injured in the midst of this busy schedule because after the international break, all players will return to playing as usual.

They have the opportunity for many players to come off the bench and change the game.

Barcelona actually has players who can replace Yamal quite well. However, in terms of quality, no one can match Yamal in his current position at Barcelona. Yamal always ensures that the ball flows well and breaks through the opponent's defense in an effective manner. He is skilled at making quality assists. In addition, he is also an exceptional finisher. He is still young and has the potential to improve even further in terms of quality.

Without judging his personal character, I really admire Yamal's skills. He is a young player who is incredibly talented on the field. He is sure to become a great football star. As long as he can maintain his image well in his personal life. Because becoming a football star is like being an artist who is always in the spotlight of the media.

Regarding Real Madrid, they have more thorough preparation. Even their second-string players have quality that is almost on par with the main players in other teams.

Yes, Barcelona needs to win against Bilbao so that the point gap between them and Real Madrid doesn't widen, but of course in the match between Barcelona and Bilbao, it seems that Barcelona has a greater chance of winning because, when comparing the strength of Bilbao and Barcelona, Barcelona is definitely stronger. However, when betting on that match, we must remain cautious because Bilbao cannot be underestimated. They might have identified Barcelona's weaknesses, which could result in Barcelona failing to win, such as a draw. I remember when Barcelona played against Celta, we saw that Barcelona had a weak defense, which ultimately led to Barcelona conceding 2 goals. So, it is possible that Bilbao will attack by luring all Barcelona players forward, allowing Bilbao to attack Barcelona's defense effectively, which will ultimately result in Barcelona conceding goals.

However, in that match, I would bet on Barcelona's victory, as I believe Flick will learn from previous experiences where Barcelona's defense was easily breached. What do you think the score will be in that match?

Many of Barcelona's main players have indeed suffered injuries, but none of them are too serious that they have to be absent for a long time and I think the condition of the Barcelona team is currently still good and Hansi Flick has also been quite successful in making the team's performance stable despite making a lot of rotations and regarding losing points in several matches I think it is normal because the most important thing is that there is no significant decline in performance in the Barcelona team.
