"We are grateful to Xavi, but Flick gave us a new look; we needed a change"

After winning the EA Sports La Liga title at the RCDE Stadium (0-2), Barcelona player Lamine Yamal has praised Hansi Flick, who, in his opinion, has "given them a new look" this season.

"A change was needed. We are very grateful to Xavi, who gave us the opportunity for many young players to make their debuts. Hansi has given us a new look, we needed a change," he told Barça One.

The Spanish international, scorer of the first of his side's two goals against Espanyol, acknowledged that winning La Liga is "a dream". Lamine Yamal added that this season, with the triumph of the domestic treble (La Liga, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup), the team and the Azulgrana club have changed their "mentality" after some complicated seasons.

The Catalan side's young talent sent a hopeful and exciting message to their fans ahead of a future that, on paper, looks promising for a team with a very young core of players. "I would like to say to the Cules that this has only just begun. It is impossible to get tired of winning. That's always on my mind," Lamine Yamal told ESPN.

Finally, looking ahead to the end of the season, the winger was asked if he sees it possible to finish the current league season with double figures in goals and assists, which would make him the youngest player in history to do so. While the challenge is an interesting one, Lamine made it clear that for him his numbers are secondary. "I don't play for that, I play for Barca. I focus on the games and I will continue to do what I do for my club," he said.
