(VIDEO) Lamine Yamal Rates his Assists: Which One did He Give a 10?
Lamine Yamal was put to the test and rated the assists he has provided throughout the season. Among the most notable are the ones he gave to Dani Olmo for his first goal, as well as the many he has provided to Robert Lewandowski. However, his favorite is one he gave to Raphinha, which the Barcelona starlet rated a 10.
Lamine Yamal gave the perfect score to the assist he provided to Raphinha for his third goal in the rout against Valladolid. For him, it’s “special” because it was part of his teammate's hat-trick and due to the quality of the pass, as it was a through ball that allowed the Brazilian to exploit his speed and score a fantastic goal that started with the pass.
Lamine is the key player for Barcelona
Barcelona continues its excellent start to the season with a convincing 1-4 victory over Girona at Montilivi, driven by the outstanding performance of Lamine Yamal, who scored two goals. The young talent, who already has three goals and four assists in five La Liga matches, has become a key player in new coach Hansi Flick's system. Flick has now secured five consecutive victories, something not seen since Ernesto Valverde’s era in the 2017/18 season.
Lamine Yamal was the standout player of the match, not only shining with his goals but also with his ability to disrupt the opponent. His goals reflect his excellent form, as well as Barcelona’s dominance in all aspects of the game. The team also performed well collectively, showing defensive solidity and attacking prowess, despite significant injuries in the squad.
Girona, who entered the game with good spirits after two consecutive wins, could do little against Barcelona’s dominance. The only negative note for Flick's team was Ferran Torres’ red card in an otherwise near-perfect performance. Pedri also contributed to the scoreline, while Girona managed to score a consolation goal in the final minutes.
