It was a nightmare evening for Yamal and all of Catalonia.
Details: After a resounding victory over Barcelona in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Chelsea's left-back shared the secret behind his stellar performance against one of the Blaugrana's most dangerous talents, Lamine Yamal:
"His left foot is dominant... So if I can force him inside, my teammates will be there. I left space on his right, because his right foot is his weak side. If he'd managed to do something with his right, I would have said: 'Well done, congratulations.'" admitted Cucurella.
Lamine Yamal was substituted in the 80th minute, having failed to create a single dangerous moment in front of the Blues' goal.
At the moment, Chelsea sit fifth in the overall group stage standings with 10 points. Barcelona, meanwhile, are in 15th place with 7 points to their name.
Reminder: A new rising star. Estevao follows in the footsteps of Mbappe and Haaland!
