Lamine Yamal, a key figure at Barcelona, has boldly declared that the Catalan giants are the favourites to win the Champions League. In a recent interview, Yamal expressed his confidence in the team’s abilities, stating, “We’re the favourites for the Champions League… We are not afraid of any opponent.“
This assertion comes on the heels of Liverpool’s elimination from the competition, which has shifted the focus to Barcelona as the top contender. Yamal acknowledges that last season’s quarter-final loss to PSG was a setback, but he believes this season is different.
“We’re a different team than last year… We’re a family,” Yamal emphasized. This newfound team spirit will be put to the test as Barcelona faces Dortmund in the quarter-finals. The Blaugrana are firm favourites to win against a team ranked 11th in the German Bundesliga.
With their impressive form and Yamal’s confident attitude, Barcelona is certainly a team to watch in the Champions League.
