Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal names the two best midfielders in this season’s Champions League | OneFootball

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has this week revealed his picks for the standout midfield performers in this past season’s edition of the Champions League.

European football’s most prestigious club competition was of course brought to an end for the year over the weekend.

When all was said and done, it was French champions Paris Saint-Germain who reigned triumphant, running riot to the tune of a 5-0 finale drubbing of Inter Milan.

And such excellence on the part of Luis Enrique’s men was accurately reflected in the Champions League Team of the Season.

No fewer than seven members of PSG’s squad were named in the XI of the best performers across the length of the continental campaign.

Joining such players, meanwhile, was the aforementioned Lamine Yamal, filling the berth on the right wing opposite Barcelona teammate Raphinha.

During an interview with COPE on Monday, it therefore came as little surprise when a number of topics surrounding the completed Champions League campaign was put to Barca’s up-and-coming prodigy.

One such question saw Lamine asked to choose whom he feels was the best midfielder in Europe this season.

And the 17-year-old went on to highlight two names, as follows:

“Pedri and Vitinha.”
