Aston Villa defender Pau Torres is looking forward to facing Lamine Yamal when Barcelona hosts his team in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Torres knows Yamal from playing with him on the Spain national team and acknowledges that Yamal is unpredictable and often requires extra defensive attention. Torres told Diario Sport that it will be a pleasure to defend against Yamal.

Torres described Yamal as a player who "always catches you out" and is often difficult to mark with just one player. He emphasized the need for his team to be very alert and provide cover when defending against Yamal. Torres' comments come as Yamal has been in great form, including scoring a brace for Barcelona against Alaves the previous weekend.

Torres also expressed his belief that Yamal deserves to win the Ballon d'Or and is confident that he will achieve this honor soon. He mentioned that while Harry Kane had excellent stats, he would have preferred a Spanish player to win and thinks Yamal is very close to achieving the award.
