Barcelona star Lamine Yamal believes his team has become the leading candidate to win the 2025 Champions League after Liverpool’s exit in the Round of 16.
Earlier, Yamal believed the Reds had the advantage after topping the league, before being eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain.
The 17-year-old commented on this by saying, “We are the most likely candidates to win the Champions League now that Liverpool are out of the competition.”
He added, “We are not afraid of any team. We are one family. We are not like Barcelona last year against Paris Saint-Germain.”
Yamal responded to criticism regarding his lack of goals, saying confidently, “I don’t care much about that. The important thing is to help the team. I have great confidence in my ability to score goals in big matches.”
He concluded by speaking about Real Madrid, “Matches against Real Madrid are very attractive, and we are the team that causes them the most damage. And vice versa.”
