SUPERCUP: Spectacular 'Messianic' goal by Lamine Yamal to equalize the final

FC Barcelona crushed Real Madrid in the Supercopa de España final, in a match that the azulgrana team turned around with authority starting from a stunning goal by Lamine Yamal. The 'merengues' took the lead with a goal from Kylian Mbappé in the 5th minute, but the player from Mataró appeared in the 22nd minute to level the score and set the course for what ended up being a historic thrashing in Jeddah.

Lamine warned right at the start of the match, with a shot from the edge of the area that Courtois sent with difficulty to the corner. The Belgian kept Carlo Ancelotti's side in the lead during the first quarter of an hour, but in the 22nd minute, a remarkable technical gesture from Robert Lewandowski broke the makeshift 'merengue' defense. The Pole assisted the '19' with a first-touch pass with his right foot, allowing Yamal to break away.

Using his speed and masterful technique, the young player left Tchouaméni behind, taking his time to deliver a left-footed pass into the net, impossible for Courtois. The 'Messianic' gesture from the 17-year-old winger opened the way for the spectacular azulgrana comeback. Hansi Flick's team turned it around before halftime thanks to goals from Lewandowski (penalty), Raphinha, and Alejandro Balde.

Lamine surpassed his scoring record for the 2023-24 season

With his goal in the Supercopa final, his second this season in Classics, the player from Mataró reached 8 goals in 23 matches in the 2024-25 season, where he also has 12 assists. Lamine has already surpassed, by far, his records from last season. The winger finished his first year with Barça with 7 goals and 9 assists in 50 appearances (2,957 minutes). In 2025, in fact, Lamine has managed to score in both matches he has played.

The young player was sidelined due to injury against Barbastro but returned against Athletic, scoring another stunning goal. On Wednesday, in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey (against Betis in Montjuïc), Yamal will seek to extend what is currently his best scoring streak of the season, as until now he had not managed to score in consecutive matches either in La Liga or in the Champions League.
