Simeone is determined to defeat Barcelona by any means necessary.

Details: According to DiarioSport, Atlético Madrid head coach Diego Simeone is meticulously preparing his team for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash against Barcelona.

The source claims that the main concern in Madrid is Barcelona’s teenage sensation, Lamine Yamal. To neutralize him, Simeone has instructed his players to use various provocations in an attempt to force Yamal into earning a yellow card, which would see him suspended for the return leg.

This season, Lamine Yamal has emerged as Barcelona’s main attacking threat. He has featured in 41 matches, scoring 21 goals and providing 16 assists. In the current Champions League campaign, Yamal has netted 5 goals and delivered 4 assists, making him the team’s second-highest contributor in this tournament.
