Dadel: Umtiti is in a tough position right now, but he's a fantastic player

Livestream On February 11, the 24th round of La Liga is about to stage a Catalan derby, and espanyol will sit at home to face Barcelona. Before the match, ESPN interviewed Spaniard midfielder Dudel about his former teammate, French centre-back Umtiti, who now plays for Barcelona.

Dudel debuted in Espanyol's youth system, moving from Malaga to Ligue 1 Lyon in 2015 before moving back to Espanyol in 2018. During his time in Lyon, Dudel was teammates with Lacazette, Tolisso, Memphis Depay and others, and the French centre-back Umtiti, who now plays for Barcelona, has also played alongside Dadel that year.

Speaking about his former teammate and weekend rival, Duddell said:

"The hostile relationship between Barcelona and the Spaniards means that we can't meet each other very often ... He has his life and I have mine, but we communicate from time to time. ”

"He's in a tough situation right now, but he's a very, very good athlete."
