Lamine Yamal continues to stand out as a true 'record holder', since the striker has further extended his record of consecutive games without knowing defeat with FC Barcelona's victory over Girona in Montilivi (1-4), already accumulating a notable total of 19 duels without losing
And Lamine Yamal continues on his way! The Rocafonda native continues to establish himself as one of the great stars in the international sports scene, and why wouldn't he? Yes, among many things, he continues to build a truly impressive streak, where he has now amassed an impressive 19 consecutive matches without losing, combining his performances both with Barcelona and the national team.
In that regard, '19' extended his streak after Barcelona secured their fifth victory of the campaign, dominating Girona (1-4) in a true celebration of good football at Montilivi. In this match, Lamine Yamal didn't just play a token role; on the contrary, he was named the 'MVP' of the match against Girona. The forward netted a pair of goals (30' and 37') that set the course for the culé victory, sealed by goals from Dani Olmo (47') and Pedri González (64').
With this triumph, Lamine Yamal's unstoppable streak strengthens, as he has not tasted defeat since the 4th of May 2024, when the blue and crimson team fell 4-2 precisely against Girona, also at Montilivi. Since then, four months and 12 days have passed, during which the Spanish-Moroccan has taken part in 19 matches (nine with Barcelona and 10 with the national team), amassing an impressive record of 18 wins and one draw. Over this period, he has scored five goals and provided 12 assists.
