Hansi Flick labels Barcelona star a ‘genius’ after win over Alavés | OneFootball

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has on Sunday evening moved to lavish fresh praise on youngster Lamine Yamal.

This comes owing to the 17-year-old’s latest starring performance.

Lamine was for his part in from the off once more earlier today, as Barcelona welcomed Deportivo Alavés to Catalunya’s capital for a La Liga clash.

And the Spanish international went on to utterly terrorise the visitors’ backline over the course of the 90 minutes.

Making use of his flawless touch, quick feet and electric pace, Lamine time and time again left opposing defenders for dead, en route to Man of the Match honours.

Speaking to the media on the back of a hard-fought 1-0 victory for his side, the subject of his wing wizard’s latest display was in turn put to Barca boss Hansi Flick.

And the German tactician made use of the opportunity to wax lyrical about Lamine:

“Lamine is a genius. What he did today in some situations… unbelievable. I’m really happy he plays for Barça!”
