Lamine Yamal says it would be ‘cowardly’ for Barcelona not to target Champions League: ‘We’ve got the squad’

Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal has expressed his belief that the club should not shy away from targeting the Champions League this season. In a preview of Movistar+’s Universo Valdano, Yamal emphasized that Barça must possess a mindset of confidence when pursuing the European competition's top prize. For the young striker, going all out for the Champions League is a positive thing, rather than a distraction from their domestic league ambitions.

Yamal stated that the team has the necessary talent to compete for the Champions League, and being preoccupied with winning the competition is a good thing. However, he cautioned that overconfidence should not be mistaken for certainty, as predicting outcomes in football is never guaranteed. Yamal also highlighted the importance of the team sticking together during difficult moments, as they will strive to achieve both La Liga and Champions League success.
