Khaberni - Barcelona players and fans enlisted American basketball legend LeBron James to inspire a historic "remontada" against Atlético Madrid in the return leg of the Champions League quarterfinals next Tuesday, as young star Lamine Yamal changed his Instagram profile photo to an image of the American star after he made a historic comeback in the NBA finals ten years ago.
Barcelona lost at home against Atlético Madrid with two goals unanswered in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the European Champions League, where the Catalan team has never won against coach Diego Simeone's squad over two legs in the prestigious continental competition after being knocked out by the latter twice in the same round in 2014 and 2016, and a third elimination seems imminent.
LeBron James' picture has become widely circulated among Barcelona fans who hope for a historic "remontada" and advancing to the Champions League semifinals for the second consecutive year. Similarly, young star Lamine Yamal changed his profile picture to an image of LeBron holding the NBA trophy after leading his former team, Cleveland, to a victory over the Golden State Warriors, coming back from a 1-3 deficit.
