The star of Barcelona Lamine Yamal thinks that his team is now the favorites to win the Champions League after the release of Liverpool.
The Reds were eliminated to sanctions by Paris Saint-Germain, leaving a less giant in the competition.
Meanwhile, Barça has overcome Benfica in the past 16 times and will face the German Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinals.
Above all, the side of Yamal is on the other side of the draw towards PSG and its rivals Real Madrid.
But they could still collide in Bayern Munich or Inter Milan on the road to the final.
Speaking on international service with Spain, Yamal said to SPORT: “We are the favorites of the Champions League.

“At the end of the group phase, I said that Liverpool was the favorites because they were the first, and now that they fell, it was us.”
The dynamic winger continues by saying that the team is not afraid of any opponent and highlights his “strong mentality” while she is preparing for the most critical part of the season.
Barcelona remains in the running for three major titles: the Champions League; Laliga, where they are currently holding first place with a match in hand; And COPA Del Rey, where they are ready to face Atletico Madrid during the second stage of the semi-final.
“We are a different team from last year, when we lost against PSG,” said Barca n ° 19.
In Spain, no team has scored anywhere nearly 75 goals from Barça, and only two parts conceded less than their 27.
But it’s been 10 years since the club has raised the Champions League for the last time, in the Lionel Messi era.
Now, Yamal is looking to make her brand as the next club legend and the 17 -year -old has already proven his value since entering the Masia stage.
If he can lead Barça to the prestigious trophy, he will become a hero.
