Luis, it's what being a superstar is all about, isn't it?

Yeah, well, I've been saying that for a while, but yes.

And it's getting to the point now to where he doesn't even have to play well to have an impact on the game.

It wasn't a good game by Lamin Yaman.

And we talked about it in halftime.

He didn't have the impact that he would have wanted.

He was very quiet.

Pedri comes on the field, makes a difference, finds Salaminyamar in a good position, isolated 1v1.

And Adama, when he sucked in, now he's collapsing towards Salaminyamar, but he's panicking because he knows he's giving him time and space.

And as he is panicking, then he loses his footing.

And guess what?

And you losing your footing, you allow Lamin Yamal to cut to the inside and finish in the manner in which he did.

And so, it's that story of a player that maybe goes missing for long periods of time in the game, hasn't had the impact, it's been a tough match, Adama has done well defensively, and you lose 1-0 and the game winner was Lamin Yamal.

That's a superstar.

And that's when we cross the threshold of somebody who doesn't have to be at his best to still be better than you.

Be better than Atleti Clu.

And he didn't need to be better than Atleti Clu over the course of 90 minutes.

He needed to be better than Atleti Clu in one sequence.

And he was better than Adama, scores the game winner, and Barcelona take the three points.

You know, your superstars always forget what's just happened.
