Xavi hurls praise at Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres after Barcelona’s win at Villarreal

Xavi Hernandez was full of praise for Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres after Barcelona’s 4-3 win over Villarreal in La Liga.

The two players shone in a dramatic game for the visitors. Yamal picked up his first assist, while Torres came off the bench to score.

Here’s what Xavi has had to say about Barca’s newest star.

“Expectations are very high, he does not play as a starter at the whim of the coach but because we see him as capable of making a difference, he is differential and almost always chooses well,” he said.
