Lamine Yamal stars as Barcelona dismantle Bayern
Although Yamal didn’t find the net himself, his influence was undeniable.
He provided the assist for Raphinha’s third goal, helping to seal Barca's commanding 4-1 victory.
The 17-year-old's ability to create chances has been on full display recently, even as his own scoring touch has slowed.
Since his last goal on September 28, the young winger has shifted focus toward facilitating his teammates, registering two assists in his previous two outings.
As Barcelona prepare for the El Clasico, Yamal’s creative spark will be key.
El Clasico: Lamine Yamal's message to Madrid
Despite his personal struggles against Real Madrid—having failed to score or assist in three previous meetings, per Transfermarkt—the 17-year-old is determined to flip the script this time around.
His confidence is clear, as he stated via Madrid Zone:
“We believe we are the best team, and I think we are proving it,” adding, “We will go with all our strength; may the best team win.”While Yamal and Barcelona seem to be peaking at the right time, their rivals, Real Madrid, have had a mixed start to the season.
Despite boasting marquee names like Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe, Los Blancos have often laboured to grind out results, leaving room for doubt ahead of this season's first El Clasico encounter.
Is Lamine Yamal better than Vinicius?
Adding more intrigue to the highly anticipated clash at the Santiago Bernabéu, Vinicius Jr was told he isn't a 'better' player than Lamine Yamal.
Despite being a frontrunner for the 2024 Ballon d'Or, a former Spain star argued that the Brazilian still doesn't measure up to the young Barcelona sensation.
