Lamine Yamal returned to Hansi Flick's starting eleven and FC Barcelona returned to winning ways. After three games without the '19' and without knowing victory, the Catalans pleased and thrashed Mallorca at Son Moix (1-5) in a match in which, despite Raphinha being named 'MVP', the player from Mataró played a decisive role in getting the three points.
And the youth player was a real 'headache' for the Bermelillon defence, constantly unbalancing on his flank and being an inexhaustible source of danger. In addition, in the 74th minute he registered his name in the statistics. The forward received the ball close to the right side of the field and, with the outside of his left foot, sent an incredible assist to 'Rapha' to seal the match.
Lamine is LaLiga's top assist-maker
Lamine has thus consolidated his position as the leader in this area in LaLiga with 8 assists, 9 in all competitions this season. In addition, the player from Rocafonda created the penalty that began to tip the balance in favour of the Catalans in the second half.
"My passes with the outside of the ball? It's something I'm good at and I'm going to keep doing it. We have to keep helping the team and I'll keep doing it. When I'm at home I'm very nervous and I prefer to help the team," said Yamal at the end of a match in which, once again, he was able to leave his mark.
