Lamine Yamal, 16, bagged a late winner to secure Barca all three points on Friday night. Manager Xavi praised the teenager's display, while also lauding the mature performance of 17-year-old defender Cubarsi. The Barca boss told La Liga TV: "Today he had two very powerful strikers in front of him. He had an amazing game. He is playing like a captain, it's amazing. The personality that he showed for the team, I think it was spectacular today." Barcelona's young stars could be in action once again on Tuesday at home to Napoli in the second leg of their last 16 Champions League tie. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw in Stadio Diego Armando Maradona last time out.
