Colombia may have been knocked out of the World Cup on Tuesday, but Yerry Mina had an excellent tournament with his three goals.

He’d finished his first half a season at Barcelona with several doubts and with many Blaugrana supporters unconvinced, but the centre-back has stated that this wasn’t on his mind as he represented his country in Russia

.”No, I don’t have to prove my level to anyone,” he said when asked if he’d been trying to show Barcelona what he can do.”I have always been calm [about my Barcelona situation] and I trust in God.”The 23-year-old also spoke of the disappointment that he and his Colombia teammates felt at losing to England on penalties.

“We’re very sad because we gave our all,” he said.”There’s a need to thank this wonderful group for leaving everything on the pitch and we thank Colombia for the way they supported.”Mina will now enjoy a holiday, as he waits for his future to be resolved.
