Hansi Flick praised Lamine Yamal as the world's best player following his exceptional performance for Barcelona. Yamal contributed two goals and an assist in Barcelona's 5-2 La Liga victory against Real Betis in Seville, securing their sixth league win this season. This remarkable display extended Yamal's streak to nine consecutive games with a direct goal involvement across all competitions, totaling nine goals and ten assists—his best club-level run in 162 appearances. He is also the first player from Europe’s five major leagues to achieve ten assists this season across all competitions. Flick highlighted the immense pressure on the 19-year-old but commended his unwavering focus and commitment. Furthermore, Barcelona announced injuries to defenders Jules Kounde and Eric Garcia, presenting a significant challenge for Flick in the upcoming crucial week.
