""I am happy to have him back, we all are," Flick said. "He showed directly the outstanding strength he has, to create chances, to give the last pass. It's good to have him back. "We found it very difficult, but we also deserve this win. I really appreciate how my team is playing, how they perform. It doesn't matter if we change the starting XI a bit, because they all give their all and I love that. I am very proud. "[Being top] is temporary. It is good to have, because it puts pressure on the opponents. But now we have to defend this position, and we are delighted to do that.""
""Lamine's presence on the pitch alone is a threat," Francisco told reporters. "It is so"
Barcelona came from behind to beat Real Sociedad 2-1 at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, leapfrogging Real Madrid to the top of LaLiga. Jules Koundé cancelled out Álvaro Odriozola's first-half effort before Lamine Yamal, returning from a four-game absence with a groin problem, came on in the 58th minute and produced an assist to Robert Lewandowski 62 seconds later for the winning header. Hansi Flick praised Yamal's ability to create chances and the whole squad's performance while calling the top spot temporary and stressing the need to defend it. Yamal has been involved in 18 goals in his last 18 competitive games and recently won the Kopa Trophy after finishing second in the Ballon d'Or.
