Yerry Mina and his Columbia teammates bow out in style after losing their Round of 16 encounter with England on penalties.
The Barcelona defender was his country’s star man has he lifted their spirits by scoring a beautiful header in the 93rd minutes after all hopes were lost to take the game to extra time.
Though they are out but the mundial but the 23-years old was his country’s highest goal scorer in Russia with 3 goals and he said he’s not trying to prove his level and worth to Barcelona speaking to the press after the match.
"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."
He 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."
