Marco Van Basten Suggests Position Change for Lamine Yamal

Marco van Basten, the Dutch football legend, has offered valuable advice regarding the playing position of Barcelona’s young star Lamine Yamal, following his remarkable performance in the Champions League. Van Basten suggested that Yamal could thrive in a different position on the field, which could further enhance his already impressive skills.

Barcelona’s Champions League Journey Ends in Disappointment

Barcelona had to end their journey in the 2024-2025 Champions League semifinals after losing 6-7 on aggregate to Inter Milan. A 3-3 draw in the first leg and a 3-4 defeat in the second leg forced the Catalan team to bury their dreams of reaching the final.

Lamine Yamal Shines Despite Barcelona’s Exit

Amid the disappointment, Lamine Yamal stole the spotlight with his dazzling actions in both matches. The 17-year-old managed to score a spectacular goal while playing at home in the first leg, showcasing his potential.

Yamal’s impressive performance continued at Giuseppe Meazza, where he recorded 14 successful dribbles throughout 120 minutes of play. This achievement marked the highest number of successful dribbles in a single Champions League match since the era of Neymar Junior eight years ago.
