Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal has, on Sunday, provided an insight into his preferred position on the pitch.
For those not aware, history was made at the Camp Nou late last night.
This came as Barca played host to Real Betis, amid ongoing efforts to seal the La Liga title.
En route to an eventual 4-0 triumph, secured by way of goals from all of Andreas Christensen, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Guido Rodriguez (OG), the aforementioned Yamal was introduced off the bench.
And, in the process, the attacker became the youngest player to ever take to the pitch for Barcelona’s first-team, at just 15 years, 9 months and 16 days years old.

Not only that, but Yamal went on to make his presence very much known, too, coming close to both scoring, and bagging a fine assist.
Speaking on Sunday, the Spanish youth international confirmed that his favoured position is on the right flank, where he is afforded the opportunity to show off his ‘creative’ talents in the final third:
