Lamine Yamal and the solo goal that made history in La Liga
On social media, fans shared a video recording an eye-catching performance by Lamine Yamal against Alaves. After receiving the ball in the midfield area, the Golden Boy winner easily overcame Sanchez and Conechny. Not stopping there, Yamal continued to “dance” in the circle of 5 away players.
When approaching the Alaves penalty area, Yamal passed to Raphinha in a favorable position. However, the Brazilian star’s diagonal shot went just wide of the post.
“Unbelievable”, exclaimed one fan. “Am I watching Messi play?”, exclaimed a second. “Someone remind Yamal that he is only 17 years old”, said a third fan in surprise.
Meanwhile, AS newspaper ran the headline: “Lamine Yamal overcame eight opponents in a goal that made history in La Liga:!”.
After the match, Yamal was selected by La Liga’s organizing committee as the best player with the 3 best statistics on the field, including 10 successful dribbles, 14 duels won, and 3 chances created.
Currently, Yamal is considered the world’s leading winger despite being under 18 years old. The young star of Barcelona possesses impressive dribbling and acceleration abilities. It is very difficult for defenders to predict the Euro 2024 champion, because he can also perform trivela moves with great accuracy.
With 3 points won at home, Barca narrowed the gap with the top team Real Madrid to 4 points.
