Brutal! Lamine Yamal cartoon assistance to Dani Olmo

FC Barcelona defeated Espanyol in Montjuïc (3-1) in a match that, once again, was resolved very early, with three goals in the first half hour of play. Barça opened the way to victory in the 12th minute, thanks to another piece of genius from Lamine Yamal.

The '19' invented a cartoon pass, with the outside of the left boot, catching the unmarking of a perfectly enabled Dani Olmo. The one from Terrassa did not fail in the one-on-one against the rival goalkeeper, a goal quickly validated by the VAR, since the '20' clearly beat Cabrera.

After 1-0, Barça continued attacking and was able to finish the game with goals from Raphinha and, again, Olmo, the latter the 'MVP' of the game thanks to a double that allowed him to reach five goals in the same number of appearances in LaLiga.

Lamine Yamal regains the lead in LaLiga assists

With his excellent pass to Dani Olmo, the '19' reached 7 assists in LaLiga, with which he regained the sole lead in this statistical section in the tournament. Last day, Raphinha had reached the Mataró line, with 6 assists on goal.

After 12 rounds played, Lamine maintains a remarkable record of participating in almost one goal per game. The youth player has also scored 5 goals in the tournament, the last of them last week against Real Madrid.

In his first Catalan derby, the winger was, once again, very participative in attack, with 4 total shots (2 on goal) and a couple of opportunities created. Although he was not fine in the individual duels (he only won 4 of 14), he was successful in passing, with 36 of 46 completions (78% correct).
