Valencia defender Jose Gaya has been chatting about Lamine Yamal ahead of Saturday’s La Liga clash with Barcelona.

Yamal has been in stunning form for Barcelona this season but Gaya talked about how he plans to try and stop the teenager at Montjuic.

“We always have the option of watching videos. I’ve seen him quite a lot because he’s difficult to defend,” he told reporters.

“If you get on him quickly, he’ll go out on both sides. If you go back, he can create complicated situations with his dribbling... Being close to him, being aggressive and making him run backwards can be the key.
