Lamine Yamal returned 'on fire' from the national team break and stood out with a double in the Girona-FC Barcelona (1-4). The winger was the undisputed 'MVP' of the match with a double and extended his winning streak in all competitions
FC Barcelona showed off in Montilivi against Girona (1-4) in another spectacular day for Lamine Yamal. The youth player opened the way to a comfortable Barça victory with a double in the first half where he exhibited all his quality, taking advantage of the mistakes of the Catalan defense. For the 17-year-old player, the streak of an unforgettable summer seems to have no end, leading a Barça that shows a totally different face with Hansi Flick on the bench.
The culés took center stage in the match from the first minute, installed in the rival field with a suffocating high pressure. The '19' had the first clear chance with a shot directly into Gazzaniga's hands. Pedri seemed to be better positioned to finish, but the winger saw the opportunity and did not hesitate to shoot. Girona seemed to take a breather after the initial quarter of an hour, until an error at the start by David López opened the scoring.
Gazzaniga played short with the center back, who wanted to come out controlling the ball. Lamine, always attentive to details, took the opportunity to put pressure on the defender and, with complete cleanliness, stole the ball from him in the blink of an eye, standing in front of the Argentine goalkeeper to finish at will. With the score at 0-1, Míchel's team once again retreated into their own half and, in the 37th minute, Yamal's second came, this time taking advantage of a short clearance after a free kick. The youth took a surgical left foot to the base of the post, placing the ball in the only place it could enter.
Lamine gets into the fight for the Pichichi with his double against Girona
Thanks to his double against Girona, the winger is fully involved in the fight for Pichichi, with 3 goals and 4 assists in 5 LaLiga games. Robert Lewandowski continues to lead the scoring table with 4 goals, followed by Raphinha, Dani Olmo, Ayoze Pérez, Kylian Mbappé and Javi Puado, all with 3 goals. Lamine had scored his first goal of the season on matchday 2, against Athletic (2-1).
Lamine Yamal's incredible unbeaten streak continues

The last rival that, coincidentally, beat Lamine on the field was Girona on May 4. On Sunday, the '19' was able to get even with a placid afternoon for the culés that ended in a rout. How much longer will the winger continue his undefeated streak? The youth team's next challenge will be on Thursday the 19th against Monaco, in the Barça debut in the Champions League.
