Yamal to Simeone: Let Me Play One-on-One, Drop Lookman Double-Mark

Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal has urged Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone to abandon the plan of using multiple players, including Ademola Lookman, to curb his attacking threat. The 18-year-old made the plea at a pre-match press conference ahead of the Champions League quarter-final second leg at the Metropolitano. Barcelona face a 2-0 aggregate deficit after last week’s loss at Camp Nou. Simeone deployed Lookman in a defensive role to track Yamal’s movements, a tactic that successfully neutralised the teenager in the first meeting. Atletico will likely stick to their strategy as they defend their lead, but fans will watch closely for any change.
