€120m Barcelona player is now leading the La Liga assists chart

FC Barcelona had a memorable game against Real Valladolid, which showcased the potential of this Hansi Flick-led team. Several players shone in that match and worked together to beat the visitors with a 7-0 scoreline.

The most prominent of these players was clearly the Brazilian winger, Raphinha, who scored the first hat-trick of his footballing career in this game. But other players like Olmo, Torres, and Lewandowski also had a very good game, and all of them also got on the scoresheet.

One player who also once again shone in this game, but was unable to get his name on the scoresheet, was Lamine Yamal. However, as SPORT has reported, he was still a key player for the Blaugranes in this game as he turned into the assist-maker for these goal-scorers.

His first assist in that game came in the 24^th minute, as he put Lewandowski for an unmarked run onto the goal. The Pole took full advantage of this opportunity to make the scoreline 2-0. Then he once again gave an assist in the second half as he led a counter-attack from one side of the pitch to the other, and then placed a precise pass for Raphinha to help him complete his hat-trick.

Last season, Yamal had seven goals and nine assists to his name. This season, only in four games, he already has almost half these assists, as he is now leading the La Liga assists chart with four assists to his name.

Even without his goals and assists, it is clear that Yamal is enjoying his football with Barcelona at this moment. Only in the last match, he was quite active when asking the fans to amp up their chants, and he also looked very happy as he celebrated the goals with his teammates.
