Yamal is just the new king of the game..His football isn't measured by statistics unlike Prem players.. He's a joy to watch, a magical player who adds numbers.. generational talent..This era belongs to him alone.

[@shashwatrao6949]

Agreed man. He is different and i am glad, no one cares about stats when it comes to yamal. You can be the best player on the pitch without stats. But englush fans wont get it.

[@andrekoerber7334]

Overhyped...for a forward he scores very few goals. ....but he is the medias darling because of his age.

[@hertoncabral8743]

​@@andrekoerber7334How many does he create?

[@BC-mj7gj]

Craig thinks that Barcelona relying on a 17 year old can’t win a league but messy Madrid with defenders injured, unbalanced midfield and all the Mbappe problem but still they can win the league.

[@fatih8053]

Yes i was about to comment this, he thinks Real finally having 1 good game means they are back and they're gonna be perfect all season. Not to mention their several injured players.

[@dregen8662]

Madrid proofs they can win titles with injuries and being a mess.... look at the last season

[@Nitegame]

​@@dregen8662yes but this season they've performed terribly while Barcelona has been phenomenonal

[@Joeeye123]

​@Nitegame that actually works against you. Barcelona have been phenomenal and Madrid look to have struggled badly this season, yet they only find themselves potentially 3 points behind Barcelona (assuming a win in the next fixture).

[@Nitegame]

@Joeeye123 true but Barcelona will keep winning and tbh I see madrid keep dropping more points and fall behind again

[@Djfr]

He’s getting the Messi treatment 😭😭

[@Sinnlexi]

Barca needs more depth it's not just one player, having injuries to any position will make tactics to use difficult. I think Flick is a genius at these challenges..

[@fatih8053]

Well he didn't do a good job last game, not entirely his fault of course but he needs to do better along with the players.

[@Sinnlexi]

@fatih8053 this is true, I think karma week took a lot out of everyone Bayern Munich and Real Madrid it was emotional, they had no energy going into the break

[@Michael.Tyle.]

I'm sure you'll be the happiest man on the planet if we don't win the league Craig.

[@yashvardhansingh1264]

The crazy thing is we AREN'T even dependent on yamal COMPLETELY. I think it was pretty evident in the sociedad game that the team was just EXHAUSTED? And thus the inaccurate passes, crosses and bad decision making in the final third.

[@ksenyaehorova1504]

Let me Explain See Lamine Yamal’s talent helps the whole team better and obvious he attracts a lot of player around him and he gives pace he gives a lot of thing that the team can’t predict he would be that important in any team

[@Samouraimoh]

It's only you who think that the team relies on Yamal. Seriously, the team has excellent players. You had to bring RM in the discussion!

[@victorjemiseye2786]

Things like this cause rift in a team. Barca is in no way dependent on Yamal. The balance between Yamal and Raphinha is what Barca is succeeding on currently.

[@rizzo8879]

0:46 huh Dan outside the studio? Seems off. But it suits him

[@piuskamau8305]

ESPN are a bunch of clowns 🤡. They should just sit their asses down and wait for the game. Who told them that Barcelona is dependent on Lamine Yamal?

[@elchapothedon4967]

Whats craig gonna say once barca beat celta this weekend?

[@GabrielBarbosa_12]

This guys really trying say Barca depending on Lamine? Last couple weeks I remember them saying that Barca trio was the best in Europe & now all of the sudden they depend on Lamine? Cmon guys, get a grip.

[@Keizer-v9c]

Olmo should play on the left, Raphina right, fermin in the middle

[@i_u_c1443]

Pau vitor, olmo and raphinha

[@benardmuchiri8391]

I didn't see this much coverage when they were winning. Coming from a Madrid fan, this is the worst Football show and the most biased. They are rage baiter even for madrid fans. I was hate watching the Real sociadad game, they didnt loose because they didnt have Yamal, they just got outpressed and no time to breath. Your just taking advantage of the situation which I know I will be expecting on Sunday when Madrid play.

[@isaacgloriosissimus2509]

Calm down. Espn are great. You couldn't do half what they do. They are covering what they need to.

[@Beanskiiii]

You’re not Madrid fan lil bro

[@petiary4625]

For God's sake, DON'T PLAY RAPHINHA ON THE RIGHT. He is at his best coming from the left to the middle. You won't put Lewandowski as a CAM if other options are injured because we know we'll get the best from him as a striker. Play Raphinha in his best position!

[@RomaineJohnson-ds1fv]

These Barcelona haters again 😂 You’ll see the results soon

[@Nitegame]

Fr

[@VAIBHAVSINGHMUSIC]

He will make them do good without him but key is not to play Raphinha on Rw, Gavi/pauvictor should start on RW

[@Yamal_TheNewgod]

No one can lace his boots.. Absolutely no one! His destiny is to conquer football in Barça colors

[@kylephaneufmusic]

Oh no, how ever will they defeat the might Celta Vigo… 🙄

[@calistusobeke7520]

We gonna stick with what we got, but why not, we gonna improvise

[@loveayinde2994]

What about Ferran Torres? Is he injured?

[@freeross371]

Yes, I think he's back in a couple of weeks though

[@Rome1017Lights]

Has been for a out a month now. Should be back in a couple weeks

[@andellegaming9789]

Why not with the right tactics 🔥

[@andrekoerber7334]

This Lamal-hype sucks.....he is gifted, without any doubt but Pedri & Olmo are better.

[@mat_j]

Are they gonna be robbed again...

[@mat_j]

Hype is unreal

[@jeremy1399]

Who?

[@tushar5058]

Bunch of spanish kids taking barcelona to a different level Meanwhile united spent billions and will finish 10th

[@mibompanyang9049]

Only 2 games they have lost,that too it was not because he was not there,but because Barca played so bad and they are making it as if they are heavily reliant on him,that why I say he is the most hyped player in history,he is not even barca's best player this season,come on stop the hype train

[@fatih8053]

He is the best Barca player by a mile, try not to look only at g/a kid, you're clueless. We're probably gonna win today but don't expect it to be 4-0, 5-0, 7-0, 5-1 like we did when he was playing.

[@JJ-zp9vr]

Doesn't matter CR 7 better than pessi 😂😂😂

[@RuiEspinha]

Is this headline for real? Can Barcelona beat Celta vigo without one specific player?

[@Nitegame]

We also don't have Lewandowski

[@Rome1017Lights]

​@@Nitegamehe's fine...

[@andrekoerber7334]

@@Nitegame ....but you have Olmo and Pedri both are better than Yamal.

[@JJ-zp9vr]

CR 7 🐐 Pessi 🐕🐶😂😂😂😂

Sempre Celta!!

[@Nitegame]

RAPHINHA LEWA FERMIN OLMO PEDRI CASADO BALDE MARTINEZ CUBARSI KOUNDE PEÑA This should be Barcelona's starting 11 tomorrow.

[@Rome1017Lights]

Why Fermin on the right??? He was useless there against Sociedad and it's clear he wasn't comfortable.

[@fatih8053]

@@Rome1017Lights yeah he was, i would play Fermin at CAM and Olmo on the left, or play Pau Victor/Gavi on the left and play Olmo as CAM.

[@Catalan012]

@poolfans Yeah you cl. owns act like we didn't beat you 3-0 .. You're lucky you faced a weak Barca carried by Messi .If you had faced Barça before 2017, we'd have scored 9 at AnFAILED

[@poolfans]

@@Catalan012 you f lose 0-4 to a LFC team without Salah and Bobby. You are a disgrace
