“I Want to Thank Him for Everything” - Lamine Yamal Makes Feelings Clear About Neymar Being Part of 2026 World Cup

  • Barcelona trails by two goals against Atletico Madrid ahead of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg at the Metropolitano, with young winger Lamine Yamal drawing motivation from basketball icon LeBron James for the decisive match.
  • Yamal updated his Instagram profile picture to James on Monday, demonstrating a unified locker room mindset ahead of the comeback attempt. The young winger intends to replicate the basketball icon's famous 2016 NBA Finals victory.
  • The 2016 NBA Finals saw James lead the Cleveland Cavaliers from a 3-1 deficit against the Golden State Warriors, a comeback players across Barcelona have referenced through shared posts. That historic victory reinforces belief the aggregate deficit is surmountable.
  • "He is one of the figures who can inspire me for tomorrow's game, and that's why I chose him," Yamal told the press. The squad promises to fight until the final whistle regardless of outcome.
  • Yamal frequently cites player Neymar as his idol and has watched the 6-1 Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-Germain multiple times for inspiration. That 2017 match exemplifies the belief and intensity Barcelona now seeks to replicate against Atletico.
