Yamal vs. Carreras! Shiti: The two met for the fourth time. Each had a win or loss before.

October 25th, "World Sports News" wrote an article that this week's National De Villamar will face a big challenge. He will once again face Real Madrid's new left-back Carreras, who is regarded as one of his "nemeses". This will be the fourth direct conversation between the two.

Western media reviewed the three previous encounters between the two. The first time was more than two years ago, when Carreras was loaned to Granada by Manchester United and scored his first La Liga goal in that game, but Carreras also performed well on both offense and defense. The then Granada coach Paco Lopez reflected after the game that in order to deal with the cooperation of Yamal and Cancelo, he had specially arranged for Brian Zaragoza to assist Carreras on the left. Although the Granada coaching staff stated that it did not formulate a special "anti-Yamal" plan.

Last season, Carreras has moved to Benfica and played against Yamal twice in the Champions League group stage and knockout round. The debut video produced by Real Madrid this summer even specifically included clips of him defending Yamal.

Although it is generally believed that Carreras successfully restricted Yamal, the data is not completely one-sided: in Benfica's 4-5 match against Barcelona in the group stage, Yamal created a penalty kick from Carreras and completed it. He made an astonishing 6 dribbles, although he also lost the ball 18 times; in Barcelona's 1-0 away win in the first round of the knockout round, Barcelona sent off one person early. Yamal completed 2 dribbles and only lost the ball 8 times in less than 60 minutes of playing time.

The article also revealed an interesting detail: Yamal himself believed that the German left-back Raum he faced in the European Cup was one of the most difficult opponents he had ever encountered. Flick, who had been announced as Barcelona's new coach at the time but had not yet met Yamal, specifically sent a message to Yamal to point out Laum's weaknesses because he had coached the latter in the German national team. Now, Yamal will once again test his ability to face the powerful enemy Carreras on the stage of the national derby.
