In a tense moment, after a Brugge goal was disallowed for a foul on Wojciech Szczesny, the teen turned to the home fans and blew a kiss after being jeered whenever he was in possession.
Yamal said afterwards: "It's not a coincidence that they boo me. If they boo me, it's because they know I'm doing my job well. It doesn't worry me.
"People said I was sad or injured, but they were all lies. I'm fine, happy, and focused on my game."
Yamal was also asked about comparisons with Barca great Lionel Messi and he added, "Messi has scored thousands of goals like me, I can't compare myself to him. I'm just trying to improve and chart my own path."
