Barcelona secured their fifth consecutive win, following a solid 3-1 victory against Elche in La Liga and defeating underdogs Albacete in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, showcasing their skills to Real Madrid.
Lamine Yamal scored again, bolstering his credentials for the Ballon d’Or. Last season’s runner-up to Ousmane Dembele, Yamal truly deserves recognition as a top contender this year as much as he did last year.
However, instead of receiving widespread praise, Yamal faces the typical criticism that many young talents encounter, being labeled as disrespectful or having a bad attitude.
It’s hard to believe that such a talented young forward, who excels in scoring and ball handling, is accused of having a poor attitude.
Yamal’s work ethic is rare among wingers; he tirelessly runs up and down the pitch, creating scoring opportunities for his teammates.
As a key player for this successful club, the idea that he could be viewed as a character issue is unfounded and reflects poorly on critics who should focus on the game rather than targeting a teenager for no valid reason.
