Kompany Of Bayern Praises Yamal’s Remarkable Ascent At Barcelona

The impressive ascent of Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal, swiftly following the departure of iconic club legend Lionel Messi, has been described as exceptional by Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany during his comments on Tuesday, just ahead of the highly-anticipated Champions League clash between the two sides. 

Kompany highlighted how Yamal’s meteoric rise has captured attention and added a new dimension to Barcelona’s attacking prowess post-Messi era, emphasizing the significance of this shift in dynamics.

“I honestly don’t know but it is already exceptional for Barcelona”

One of the game’s most exciting talents, teenager Yamal was crowned a European champion with Spain in July. His rise has given Barcelona supporters optimism that he can help them experience the kind of success they had with Messi, who was also a graduate of the club’s renowned La Masia youth academy. 

Messi won four Champions League titles with Barcelona, ten La Liga titles, three club world cup trophies, and many more. He currently plays for Inter Miami in the United States.

Kompany said “I honestly don’t know but it is already exceptional for Barcelona as a club so shortly after the departure of Messi… one of the key figures of our football era, already to have potentially a player who can replace him, That is quite unique. Full credit to La Masia.”

Yamal has enjoyed a fine start to the season

After winning the Euro championship with the national team in the summer, Yamal has had a strong start to the season, tallying five goals and six assists in all competitions thus far. 

After losing to Aston Villa in their last game, Bayern, who are currently in 15th place after two matchdays, are eager to become better.

Kompany stated “I honestly think the question for us is not trying just to stop players but to win a game and that includes playing against all players not one just one player although he (Yamal) is an exceptional player,” 

Jamal Musiala, an attacking midfielder for the Bavarians, has returned from injury, but Kompany has not yet determined if he will start.

“With Jamal… everyone knows how important he is for Bayern but it is not just about the next game but the next 30 or 40 matches. We need to find the right balance, We will have to see if he plays 90 minutes or if he comes on.”  added Kompany.
