Joao Felix set up the teenager for his strike with some great play, and Yamal was quick to thank his team-mate after the final whistle.Reported By Barcaunivers.
“I’m very happy for the spot in the final and for the goal. I have thanked João for the assist. We are very confident and looking forward to the final,” he said.
“We were better in the second half. The input of Joao and Pedri, with their game giving more balance and possession as we like, has led us to beat a team like Osasuna that has competed well and had chances.”
Yamal was also asked about his chances of starting the game after replacing the injured Raphinha against Osasuna.
“The one who decides is the coach. If he gives me the opportunity to be in the XI, I will take advantage of it. I think that beating Madrid in the final would be a turning point. We’d go all the way up.”
Barcelona did beat Madrid in last year’s final but slipped to a 2-1 defeat to Los Blancos earlier this season at Montjuic.
