The sensational Lamin Yamal wanted Real Madrid as his Barcelona's rival in a possible Champions League final, sportal.bg reported.
The two Spanish giants are in different streams and would only meet in the trophy match, which will be on May 31 in Munich.
“I don't care who our rival would be - the important thing is that we are there. If it's Real, that would make the match even more special”, said 17-year-old Yamal in an interview with “Ace”.
Before “Sport”, in a conversation on the same topic, he added: “After all, we are the team that causes the greatest damage to Real Madrid.”
Separately, the two teams are fighting on two more fronts - both for the La Liga title and the Spanish Cup, where they are semi-finalists.
“Right now, for every one of our fans, winning the Champions League would be something special, but our goal is basically a treble. Otherwise, if I had to choose, I would prefer the Champions League trophy”, continued the Spanish international.
In the last round of the championship, the Catalans defeated Atletico Madrid, which left Diego Simeone's team behind the two leading teams. In this regard, Yamal suggests that Real will be Barca's main rival in the remaining rounds of La Liga.
