Although it has been a season with ups and downs in his performance, partly caused by pubalgia that affected him during some games, Lamine Yamal is already in double figures after the goal he scored against Racing de Santander in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey. The Rocafonda striker closed the scoring at El Sardinero after being one of the best Barça players on the pitch. So far this season accumulates ten goals (7 in the League, two in the Champions League and one in the Cup) and eleven goal assists (8 in the League, two in the Champions League and one in the Cup).
Lamine took the match against the Second Division leader with the seriousness that the challenge required. Like the whole team. Barcelona wants to retain the title of champion and knew perfectly well that matches against lower category teams are the devil’s fault and that if they did not face it with attitude, they would have to suffer. The white defeat against Albacete was the best warning.
The Barça ’10’ did not hide against Racing. He intervened on 92 occasions. He was insistent and looked for the goal. He found it in injury time; After shooting four times on goal, two went between the three sticks, one on the crossbar in an Olympic goal attempt and another went outside.
Adding 10 goals and 11 assists in 24 games, Lamine has already participated directly in 21 of the team’s goals this season. It is still far away, yes, from the 43 goals in which he participated last year. He scored 18 and reached 25 assists. Your challenge will be to try to match or beat these numbers. If you put your mind to it, you’re on time.
