‘Worth half a goal’ – Fermin Lopez hails Lamine Yamal’s assist as Barcelona beat Atletico
The two combined for the winner.
Fermin Lopez praised Lamine Yamal for his precise pass that led to Barcelona's winning goal in a 2-1 triumph over Atletico Madrid in La Liga. The Spanish team had found themselves trailing early on, Guilliano Simeone netting an early goal for Atletico. However, Lopez levelled the score with a goal of his own, then added a second after Yamal's assist.
Lopez deemed Yamal's contribution to be worth "half a goal" as he expressed his happiness for his teammate. "May the connection with Lamine continue, we know each other very well, the pass for the second goal is half a goal, I'm very happy for him too," Lopez said to Movistar. The victory placed Barcelona five points ahead of Atletico in the table, as Simeone's team dropped to third place after their loss.
