Lamine Yamal left the field of play suffering from muscle discomfort in his left thigh just after converting the penalty, in the 40th minute, with which his team sealed the three points. The Rocafonda native suffers a hamstring tear in his left leg and could miss the six remaining games of the season. He left sad and downcast.

“He felt something. There’s an injury. We must wait to know the extent,” Flick pointed out, concerned about his number 10. “These types of situations as a coach, you have to experience them. It’s a shame. It’s a shame he got injured, but I also think about the rest of the injured players. This happens. I’ve been injured too and I know what it’s like. But we have to focus on the match against Getafe,” warned the German coach.

“Hopefully, it will be as few weeks as possible. He will undergo tests tomorrow. I wish him good luck, to stay calm, as he is young, and to recover well,” Pedri stated.
“We are concerned just like for any other teammate. We hope it’s nothing serious and that he rejoins us as soon as possible,” said Joan Garcia. The most explicit was Gavi: “For me, Lamine is the best. It’s a screw-up. He knows he’s important. I don’t know how long it will be. I hope it’s as short as possible, we need him,” he lamented. “We have to see tomorrow. It’s not easy. It’s a shame, he’s important for us,” Flick concluded.

Outrage over Ferran Torres’ disallowed goal
The victory, sealed thanks to Lamine’s goal, could have been more emphatic. In fact, Hansi Flick’s team scored the 2-0 in the 55th minute, which was disallowed for a millimeter offside by Ferran Torres. “It’s outrageous,” the club lamented when they saw the replay and the corresponding image. “We can do much better. But Ferran’s goal is a goal, it’s not offside,” Flick lamented about the Valencian’s goal, which he wanted to dedicate to María, the 13-year-old girl who died this week from cancer.

“They disallowed a goal against RCD Espanyol that was similar. The important thing is that we won today and that’s it,” added a skeptical Gavi.
Everyone was self-critical. “In the first half, we didn’t position ourselves well, we wasted meters, and Celta plays very well internally,” Pedri reflected. “We competed well and got three points. In the first few minutes, we often concede, it’s something we need to control. Celta is a great team, especially with the ball. In the second half, we were more comfortable,” added Joan Garcia. “We didn’t play a good game. We had problems and struggled in the first half. The second half was better,” Flick noted.
