Was Xavi right to sacrifice Yamal for a defender? Lamine's reaction says it all

Tribuna

 didn't appear too pleased to be substituted early during Barcelona's Champions League clash with PSG.

Unarguably the biggest game in his career, Yamal started strongly and directly created Raphinha's goal. 

However, he was the surprise choice by Xavi to be sacrificed for a defender and the teenager was understandably disappointed. 

Moments after, PSG equalized through Ousmane Dembele. 

Raphinha strikes again v PSG - one player started it all, not Yamal

3 man defence against PSG? You play 4 they still attack. Felix is not an option he’s too slow for this kind of game

TeeWhy’s Barca

Boamah , my country man , you can be a good coach

Still take Pedri out and bring in Martinez and play raphiha as a 10 and lamal also would still be in the game

Shelle Stevenson

Xavi was perfectly right to remove Yamal for a defender. for those of you saying he should have removed a midfielder and add an attacker, we would have conceded about 10 with the pressure Psg were given us. the red card was too early mehn. yamal contributes less in our defense

Asongafac Lordrick

Should’ve bring on fort inigo was useless and bedri should been subbed off

No no no i totally disagree with you,

yamal is the only dribbler Barcelona have on the pitch.
it's better he remove lewa and bring Felix.

so that Felix can do some dirt things in our defensive midfield also as a Play Maker because is a complete player compare to lewa.

look at the PSG second goal in front of lewa and DeJong.

because De Jong is just coming from injury.

xavi is playing about three injury player's with PSG.

pedri is also Just coming from injury.

xavi suppose to start Felix yesterday because he really proof himself against PSG at first leg, also score alone goal against our last la Liga outing.

Felix is an outstanding player against Atlhetico Madrid Felix score home and away.

xavi eliminate himself from champion's league.

isn't because Barcelona collected Red at the first half of the game,.  all need to do is to bring someone who can do some dirty things from different angles in and remove lewa.because lewa isn't a Maker and we're already in short one.player like joao Felix

No Xavi made a silly mistake by removing the only dribbler young talented

very wrong... should have move kounde to the defense and play a 3 man defense. change pedri and bring Felix then Rafinha moves to the middle

Ababio Boamah Christopher

I'm not surprised at all about Xavi he really lacks experience any good coach will not remove Yamal what a fuck

Anthony Jackson

He was also looking at a player who defends also

CWESI RICH

Here we go again, xavi lacks experience. So in the end it is good that he's leaving

Shivas Misrielal

So you guys wanted us to play with  1 defender ia that what you are saying ? Every coach will do the same if you are a man down in defender every coach including pep stupid pussy fans not long ago xavi was the best coach in the world and you were begging for him to stay now you same pussy fans are here asking for his head

BarcaaForlife

You guys have started to blame xavi again

Isaiah Fiifi Gat

But he should have not yet remove yamal he should have remove lewa

qudusabiola202@gmail.com

That not an issue who would have removed?

I swear to God. He sacrificed the 2 wings by removing Yamal . He should have just waited till half time , dejong could have dropped to the center position till halftime and then remove lewa. We needed that flank , dejong and gun can be making runs into their half, he could have just sacrificed that 9 position .

OlaPo

guys wtf , who should have taken off? We needed defender back in cant take midfielder, whos gonna chase and create anything got to be striker and yes the younger its pretty obvius

musch0 m.

We talk too much. We say yamal must not be overplayed when sacrificed coach is wrong

Sure, he killed our game with the red card, that was so crazy!

BigGrace

I'm so so devastated right now, we could win PSG at the final whistle no Matter how hard they could play but as it is now, let the truth be told, we can't make it anymore.

The referee also killed our game, in such big game you can't just give a red card so hurily. His action hurts us so dearly. I strong believe that this was Barca's chance of reaching to the final have they passed they stage. I'm in tears right now 😭😭
