The 39 fouls he has received, in this case whistled by the referee, far exceed the 31 of Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle) or Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid).

Asked about resting Yamal recently, Barca coach Hansi Flick said: "We have all the data of the players, at the moment he does not have to rest.

"What Lamine is doing this season is being amazing. We have to continue with this performance. Lamine Yamal could be the best in the world in the future."
