Under Hansi Flick’s direction, Barcelona’s young sensation Lamine Yamal has emerged as a noteworthy performer in the current La Liga season.
Despite not scoring in Barcelona’s recent goal-filled victory over Valladolid, he was instrumental with two assists. The first assist set up Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha scored the fifth goal after the second assist.
This season, Yamal has given an outstanding performance, particularly when it comes to his playwriting skills. With four assists under his belt, he leads La Liga in assist totals thus far.
Yamal, who is only 17 years and 49 days old, has accomplished something remarkable. At this point in his professional career, he has tallied twenty assists, making him the youngest player in La Liga history to record ten assists.
In order to put this into context, consider that Lionel Messi did not reach ten assists in La Liga until he was twenty years old, and at twenty-one, he reached twenty assists. Yamal is demonstrating his ability to go down in history by breaking and setting records.
In addition, Yamal has contributed either a goal or an assist in eight straight games. The final four La Liga games he played for Barcelona and the final four European Championship games he participated in for the Spanish national team are included in this run.
Additionally, Yamal matched Lionel Messi’s singular record. He is the first Barcelona player to record four assists in the opening four La Liga games in a single season since Messi did so in the 2014–15 campaign.
