Golden Goal: Lamine Yamal scored again in LaLiga 141 days later

FC Barcelona turned around an incredible match at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano against Atlético de Madrid (2-4), again with Lamine Yamal playing a starring role. The player from Mataró scored in the 90+2' his first goal in the tournament this 2025 to complete the comeback of a Barça team that was down 2-0 at the 70th minute. Goals from Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres leveled the score eight minutes later, but the best was saved for stoppage time.

In the second minute of added time, Pedri González set up Lamine lurking in the area on the right. The '19' managed to shake off Connor Gallagher's mark to take a powerful shot that, thanks to a deflection off Reinildo, ended up in the net, unleashing madness on the Barça bench. Moreover, it was the perfect revenge against an Atleti that had already frustrated Barça in La Liga and Cup this season with similar reactions in the final minutes.

Regarding his goal, Yamal explained how he found the space to take a shot that completely threw Oblak off. "Since the ball was on the other side, I already saw Gallagher moving away from me. Then I decided to move inside and take the shot", he said in his talk with 'DAZN' at the end of the match. In total, the winger has 13 goals in 38 matches (3,092 minutes) across all competitions this season, in addition to 17 assists.

Lamine Yamal: 2 matches and 2 goals in Madrid this season

Lamine's last goal in La Liga was on October 26, 2024, in the thrashing that Hansi Flick's team gave to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu (0-4). The Rocafonda native scored the partial 0-3 in the 77', reaching 5 goals in the first 11 matchdays. However, it took 141 days to see the young player celebrating a goal in the tournament again, although during that time he scored 6 more goals in Champions, Cup, and Supercup (a couple in each competition).

Well, in his visit to Atlético, Yamal appeared again at the perfect moment to silence the Madrid fans. Both the Bernabéu and the Metropolitano have suffered from the '19' culé this season, waiting to see what happens in the return of the 'semis' of the Cup on April 2, again against the 'colchoneros'. The winger also scored against Madrid in the Supercup final (2-5) and finally managed to 'wet' against the 'rojiblancos', a rival he could not face in the first round due to an ankle injury.
