Sergio Aguero outlines how Barcelona can do the ‘remontada’ vs Atletico Madrid – ‘If Lamine lights up…’ | OneFootball

Barcelona produced one of their worst performances under the leadership of Hansi Flick as they fell to a heavy defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid this week.

With no less than four goals conceded and nothing in response, Barcelona practically have one foot on the exit door, as far as the Copa Del Rey is concerned.

However, former Barcelona striker Sergio Aguero hasn’t lost hope and believes the Blaugrana can still make a major comeback in the second leg, especially if one player shows up.

Aguero on Barcelona’s ‘remontada’ chances

Speaking to Catalunya Radio (h/t SPORT), Aguero pointed out that the game is far from over and Barcelona can still make a comeback if Lamine Yamal lights up the second leg.

“Everything is possible. If Lamine lights up, that’s it,” he said, after Barcelona’s 4-0 defeat at the hands of Atleti.

Aguero pointed out how he retains some interest in football thanks to Yamal and his brilliance.

“The truth is that I hadn’t watched much football, but since Lamine started to be well, I wanted to see him again,” he said.

The Argentine international, who had also played for Atletico Madrid, went on to admit that he felt very close to Barcelona during his brief spell in Catalonia.

“I like Lamine a lot, but (also) I became very fond of Barça,” he said. This is evident in the way the former striker has always supported Barcelona in key matches.

This is despite the fact that Aguero is primarily known as a Manchester City icon, having racked up as many as 260 goals in almost 400 competitive matches.

His spell at Barcelona, though, was much shorter as he could only play five competitive matches before being diagnosed with a heart condition that ended his professional career.
