Yamal and his teammates lost miserably to Chelsea. |
In the final minutes of the Champions League qualifying round, the crowd of Chelsea fans chanted: "Yamal is just carrying Estevao's shoes".
Yamal had a day of trying but not effectively. The player born in 2007 was closely marked by his senior player in the national team, Marc Cucurella and only had one shot in the whole match.
Yamal misplaced 10 passes and had a passing accuracy of only 57% in the final third. Despite winning 10 duels, the 18-year-old star was unable to make a difference against the home team's solid defense.
When Barca was down 3-0 and had to play with one less player due to Ronald Araujo's red card, coach Hansi Flick also took Yamal off in the 80th minute as a gesture of accepting defeat.
On the other hand, Estevao, a young star also born in 2007 for Chelsea, played impressively with a goal that doubled the gap along with many impressive statistics such as 83% accurate passing, 12 accurate passes in the opponent's third, and 100% successful long passes. Estevao was rated 7.9 points, while Yamal received the highest score of 7.3 on Barcelona's side.
The disastrous defeat caused Barca to slide down the Champions League rankings. Yamal and his teammates dropped to 15th with 7 points, 2 points behind the group that qualified directly for the knockout stage. Meanwhile, with their first victory over the Catalans in the European Cup in 13 years, Chelsea rose to 5th with 10 points.
