FC Barcelona star, Spanish Lamin Yamal, sent a direct message to his rival, Atletico Madrid, before the second leg of the King’s Cup semi-final, which will bring them together at Camp Nou, on Tuesday evening.
Yamal posted on the Instagram platform: “The possibility is 1 percent and 99 percent faith,” referring to the chances of the Catalan team qualifying after the huge loss it suffered in Madrid.
Atletico beat Barcelona with a full score at the Riyadh Aviation Stadium “Metropolitano”, putting one foot forward in the final of the prestigious competition.
In turn, German coach Hansi Flick realizes the difficulty of the task against a competitor who is well fortified in defense and well organized.
At the same time, it is not impossible according to the words he made at the press conference.
Flick said: “We will not give up, of course. We have to make the impossible possible. The most important thing is not to concede goals and trust in our capabilities.”
Barcelona will miss the services of Polish top scorer Robert Lewandowski, after suffering a fracture in his left eye socket.

Yamal and his teammates shined in the 26th round of the Spanish League, at the Spotify Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona.
Lamin scored a hat-trick (the first in his professional career) to lead his club to the twenty-first victory in La Liga this season.
Lewandowski also scored in the match, which ended 4-1.
Yamal raised his personal tally in the league to 13 goals, as he ranks third in the scorers’ standings behind the Kosovo Vedat Muriqi (16), Mallorca striker, and leader Kylian Mbappe, the Real Madrid star (23).
Barcelona expanded the gap over its traditional rival, Real Madrid, to four points, temporarily occupying the top spot in the general standings, awaiting the late confrontation between the Royal Club and Getafe, today.
