Lamine Yamal has offered some insight into what it's like to play for Hansi Flick at Barcelona and says he's learned an awful lot from the Barcelona boss already.

Flick is enjoying an impressive debut season in charge of the Catalans, with the team still in contention for three trophies, and Yamal is full of admiration for his boss.

"He asks how you're doing, he teaches you a lot, and I've learned so much from him. That's why he's respected both as a coach and as a person," he told UEFA.

"He's exactly as he appears -- strict, but also understanding of what each player needs at any given moment. When it comes to defensive concepts, he does ask certain things of me, but in attack, he doesn't say much -- just to enjoy myself. That's the confidence he gives us."

Yamal also spoke about his form and says his focus is on enjoying himself out on the pitch and trying to entertain the fans.

"I think the key is to think about yourself, to try to do the best for the team and for yourself. I'm not a player who looks at statistics a lot, I play to enjoy myself, so that people enjoy themselves and to win, obviously," he added.

"I don't focus on whether someone else has more or less than me. When I watch another team's football match, I want to enjoy myself, I want to see players who face each other...

"That's what I try to do when people come to the stadium, to see an entertaining match. In the end it's about enjoying myself so that people enjoy themselves."

Yamal and Barca are back in action on Wednesday in the last 16 of the Champions League against Benfica.
