Proud Barca vice-captain Lamine says Champions League is his main target
Lamine Yamal says he is grateful to his teammates for choosing him as one of Barcelona's vice-captains.
Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal, 19, expressed pride in being among the club's captains this season and emphasized his primary motivation was winning the Champions League. At a press conference, Yamal stated, "There's no greater motivation than the Champions League, which is the one I still have to win. We will give our all to win it."
The team's manager, Hansi Flick, revealed Yamal was elected as one of three vice-captains by his teammates, alongside Eric Garcia and Frenkie de Jong, while Flick himself had chosen Raphinha and Pedri. Flick noted that traditionally, captains are experienced players, but Yaml's selection as the fifth in line to wear the captain's armband was a surprise.
