Lamine Yamal recreates Lionel Messi’s magic
Lamine Yamal has started the La Liga season in exceptional form as the 17-year old teen sensation has been pulling the strings in Barcelona’s attack.
Inside the first half, Lamine Yamal starred for Barcelona and in the second half he provided an absolutely incredible assist to Robert Lewandowski for his goal. Yamal was just over the halfway line and he decided to flick the ball over the entire midfield and defence of Valladolid into the path of Lewandowski for a goal.
Lamine Yamal then also went on to dribble the ball from his own to box to the other side and set up a goal for Raphinha.
Barcelona’s dream match
Brazil forward Raphinha scored a hat trick and set up another as Barcelona routed Valladolid 7-0 and remained perfect with four wins in as many games under new coach Hansi Flick on Saturday.
The early leader of the Spanish league rolled over newly promoted Valladolid at home, with Robert Lewandowski, Dani Olmo, Jules Koundé and Ferran Torres also finding the net.
It was 3-0 by halftime and the final score could have been even worse for the hapless visitor. Olmo, making his first start for Barcelona, hit the woodwork twice and had a goal waived off for offside, while Lewandowski also rattled the post.
Barcelona has 12 points to Madrid’s five. The titleholder is in fifth place after drawing two of its first three matches. It hosts Real Betis on Sunday.
