Hansi Flick is content that Lamine Yamal does not need to have his minutes managed ahead of a testing period for Barcelona, who will face Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in the next 11 days.

The Blaugrana made it two wins from their opening two games in the Champions League on Tuesday, as they came from behind to beat Galatasaray 4-1 in Istanbul.

Joao Cancelo, Fermin Lopez, Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi got Barca's goals, but Ballon d'Or contender Yamal was the real star of the show.

He laid on two assists, with the second coming from a sensational fake rabona on the right side of the area, and was also involved in the build-up to Adeyemi's clinching goal.

In the process, Yamal became the first teenager (19 years, 92 days old) to record 25 goal involvements in the Champions League (12 goals, 13 assists in 35 appearances).

Despite Barca establishing their three-goal lead by the 65th minute, Flick opted to leave Yamal on for the full game, as he was confident the winger did not need a rest.

"Lamine didn't score today, but he provided the final pass for two of the goals and he was excellent," Flick told Movistar after the game.

"He's an incredible player and very important for us."

Asked if he considered taking Yamal off in the second half, Flick said: "No, I didn't consider it. We're managing the workload of other players, too. 

"Lamine is very good physically, he's ready for everything and, as we saw in the second half, it's very important to have a player like him on the field."

Having made a perfect start in LaLiga with eight wins from eight matches, Barca visit Real Betis on Saturday, then go to the Parc des Princes to face two-time defending European champions PSG next Tuesday.

They will then welcome Real Madrid to Camp Nou for the first edition of El Clasico in 2026-27, on October 25. Further tests against Aston Villa and Atletico Madrid also await them before the November international break.

Barca's big win took them top of the early Champions League table, having scored nine goals in their opening two games, but Flick still feels there is room for improvement.

"I think in the Champions League, even when we're playing well, there are situations where we don't make the right decisions in the final third," Flick said. 

"That's something we have to improve. In this stadium, with this atmosphere, it wasn't easy, but I'm very happy."
