Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal has pledged to lead the club to UEFA Champions League success, assuring fans that the team will continue to fight until the prestigious trophy returns to Camp Nou.
Yamal made the vow following Barcelona’s dramatic semi-final exit against Inter Milan on Tuesday night. The thrilling match ended 3-3 in regulation time, with goals from Lautaro Martinez, Hakan Calhanoglu, Eric Garcia, Dani Olmo, Raphinha, and Francesco Acerbi. However, an extra-time strike from Davide Frattesi sealed Inter’s place in the final with a 7-4 aggregate victory.
Inter will now face either Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal in the Champions League final later this month.
In a post-match interview, Yamal, quoted by journalist Fabrizio Romano, expressed determination and optimism despite the disappointment.
“We gave everything — this year it wasn’t to be, but we’ll be back, without a doubt,” he said. “Culers, we won’t stop until we return this club to the top. I promise I’ll bring the Champions League to Barcelona; we’ll keep pushing until we make it happen.”
Looking ahead, Yamal also urged unity for Barcelona’s next challenge: “Sunday is another final, and we need everyone together. Visca el Barça!”
