On Saturday evening, Lamine Yamal scored early against England. After the match, Luis de la Fuente spoke about the young FC Barcelona star.

Lamine Yamal played a part in Spain's 3-2 victory over England at Wembley in the Nations League on Saturday evening. Despite being less influential with the national team, the FC Barcelona prodigy was praised by his coach Luis de la Fuente.

"I don't know what is expected of him at Barcelona. We try to get the best out of him with our style of play, which has certain similarities to Barça's, but it is not the same thing. We play differently, with different players, and for us, Lamine's performance was exceptional. He does what every action and every game situation requires of him. From that point of view, we are very happy," said the head of La Roja at a press conference.
