Elche defender Hector Fort commented on Lamine Yamal after the match against Barcelona. The 19-year-old player, on loan from the "Blaugranas," came on as a substitute in the 70th minute of the match.
He played against Yamal on the flank until the 88th minute, after which Hans-Dieter Flick substituted the winger. "I don’t see Yamal as a star like people do.
He’s a friend to me, we’ve known each other for a long time, and have been through a lot together. It was enjoyable playing against him.
It was a dangerous situation because I ended up on his wing, but everything didn’t go badly — Yamal seemed tired," Fort’s words are cited by Barca Universal. Lamine Yamal scored a goal against Elche, but this happened much earlier, in the 9th minute, before Fort entered the pitch.
