Do you need rest? Lamine Yamal finished physically at the limit in the duel against Getafe

Lamine Yamal continues to establish himself as one of the indispensable names of FC Barcelona. The Rocafonda native played the full 90 minutes in the match against Getafe CF (1-0), a match in which LaLiga selected him as the most valuable player, despite not scoring or assisting directly. The right winger proved to be a real headache for the 'azulones' defense, creating very clear goal-scoring opportunities.

Particularly noteworthy is the play that had the most chances to become a goal, which occurred around the 60th minute, when Lamine Yamal unleashed a powerful shot from outside the box with great precision, which would have meant 2-0 in favor of the culés if not for David Soria's incredible last-ditch save. He also had another clear opportunity in the 71st minute, but this time the crossbar denied the goal to the Spanish-Moroccan forward.

A LAST-MINUTE WONDER SAVE 😮🧱

Lamine Yamal finished 'exhausted' in the match against Getafe CF

In addition to his performance on the field, one of the most notable aspects of Lamine Yamal's standout match against Getafe CF was not related to his sporting performance. It was quite noticeable that, at the end of the match, images circulated by 'Movistar' showed how the forward ended physically exhausted and limping as he made his way from the center of the field to the dressing rooms. He was seen holding his knee, then his left ankle, and even the gluteal area, although he managed to leave the field without major issues.

It is important to note that the issue of injuries and the special attention required by Lamine Yamal has become a matter to consider, especially due to the high number of minutes played this season (706' out of 720'), which could affect his physical condition. Furthermore, it is crucial to pay special attention to the number of fouls and the severity with which they are committed in each match.

In the match against Getafe CF, alongside Pablo Torre, Lamine Yamal was one of the players who suffered the most fouls (3). Given his style of play based on unpredictable dribbling, constant one-on-one situations, and rapid runs, he has become a magnet for rough play by opponents, some of which border on the extremely dangerous.
