Lamine Yamal wants to play in the Champions League against PSG
Lamine Yamal is committed to making a comeback in time for Barcelona’s Champions League matchup against PSG next week, even though he has been out since early September due to a groin ailment.
The 18-year-old prodigy, who lost out on Ousmane Dembélé’s 2025 Ballon d’Or, has remained committed to his recuperation and is exercising by himself in order to be prepared for the big night in Paris. Although his absence hasn’t prevented Barça from winning, Hansi Flick is aware that the club needs its number 10 to be at the top of their game in games that matter.
Although the PSG match has been identified as Yamal’s primary aim, reports in Spain indicate he will miss the forthcoming games against Oviedo and Real Sociedad. Sport emphasized that Paris is “the big goal” for Yamal, while Flick acknowledged that the Ballon d’Or failure has only increased his young star’s drive.
The attacker is keen to make an impression against the European champions and start setting the stage for a 2026 Ballon d’Or bid, having already recorded two goals and two assists in just three games this season.
