Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has explained why Lamine Yamal had to be subbed off in the second half against Porto in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The teenager made history in Portugal, becoming the youngest player ever to start a Champions League game at the age of 16 years and 83 days.
Barcelona’s wonderkid had been effective too until he was replaced, with Xavi confirming he wasn’t feeling great and had to go off.
“Lamine was feeling bad. He had been telling me for a while that he felt bad, that he was unwell,” he said.
