The figure of the midfielders was valued, who together with the defenders are more in the shadows. We are the engine of the team, and I was happy because I had two very good years."</p>

WHAT AITANA BONMATI SAID

<p>The Ballon d'Or winner will be back in action for the Catalan giants on Saturday as they take on Eibar in the league. Yamal, on the other hand, will take the field for Hansi Flick's side on Sunday against Espanyol in La Liga.</p>
