Lamine Yamal > Mbappé & Vinícius stat surfaces after Barcelona assist vs Espanyol

A head-turning statistic surrounding the creative exploits of Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has come to the fore on Sunday evening.

This comes owing to developments early in Barcelona’s La Liga meeting with Espanyol.

Hansi Flick’s troops are of course currently locked in action, in the first Derbi Barceloní of the campaign.

And, inside the opening 45 minutes, the Blaugrana have carried forth their scintillating recent form, to race out to a three-goal advantage.

Dani Olmo has proven himself the star of the show, notching a brace, either side of a strike on the part of Raphinha.

And yet, as alluded to above, it is a statistic surrounding the production of another member of Barca’s frontline, in Lamine Yamal, which has this evening gone viral.

As revealed by statisticians StatMuse, wide-man Lamine, with 12, has now racked up more non-penalty goal contributions than Real Madrid pair Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. combined across the La Liga campaign to date.
