Lamine Yamal praises on-loan Barcelona star after Elche 2-2 Real Madrid | OneFootball

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has taken to social media, to send a message of appreciation the way of friend and on-loan Blaugrana teammate Héctor Fort.

This comes after the young full-back enjoyed a starring latest performance in the colours of Elche.

Fort was for his part in from the off on Sunday evening, as Elche welcomed Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid to Alicante for a La Liga clash.

This marked a rare start for the 19-year-old, amid what has been something of an underwhelming stint in Alicante to date.

Fort, though, went on to take advantage of the opportunity afforded to him.

En route to a well-earned share of the spoils for Elche, the defender largely impressed from his berth at right-back.

And as alluded to above, quick to showcase his happiness for Fort in the game’s aftermath was none other than Lamine Yamal.

In a post on Instagram, the Barcelona winger unveiled a photo of his close friend, accompanied by a series of emojis:
