Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez has sent a word of advice to his young teammate Lamine Yamal, urging him to remain calm on the pitch as opponents are bound to target him during matches, especially in high-stakes competitions like the UEFA Champions League.
Speaking alongside Barcelona manager Hansi Flick during a pre-match press conference ahead of their crucial Champions League encounter against Olympiacos on Tuesday evening, Lopez expressed great admiration for Yamal’s composure and incredible talent despite his young age.
According to Lopez, Lamine Yamal is currently one of the best footballers in the world, and this level of recognition naturally draws attention from rival players who might try to unsettle him. The midfielder stressed the importance of maintaining emotional balance and mental focus on the pitch, noting that composure is key to consistency at the elite level.
“You have to stay calm because they will come for you. Every player who shines gets targeted. But that’s football. The best response is to play your game and keep improving,” Lopez reportedly said.
Lopez’s remarks reflect Barcelona’s growing confidence in their young talents and the club’s ongoing efforts to restore dominance in European football under Flick’s leadership.
The Spanish side, known for nurturing homegrown stars, have continued to put faith in their academy graduates like Yamal, whose rapid rise has drawn comparisons to football legends. His pace, creativity, and vision have made him an essential figure in Barcelona’s attacking lineup.
As Barcelona prepare to face Olympiacos, all eyes will be on Yamal to see if he can continue his impressive run and maintain the composure his teammate has encouraged. The encounter is expected to be a defining moment for the youngster as he continues to make waves in both domestic and European competitions.
