Stat attack: Barcelona crown jewel’s incredible record for club and country since May
Lamine Yamal’s trajectory is defined by consistent progress, with only one direction—upward.
Since breaking into Barcelona’s first team, he has toppled numerous records and made recurring appearances in the history books.
However, it is fair to say that despite Yamal’s brief career, these past few months have been his most remarkable.
From lifting the Euros to Spain to thriving under Hansi Flick, the 17-year-old sensation is continuing to leave his mark on the world of football.
Yamal has been on fire since May
Indeed, Yamal holds the distinction of being unbeaten since May 4, having lost no games up till now with Barcelona and Spain.
Since the Catalans’ defeat to Girona on May 4, in which he provided an assist, the winger has been instrumental in securing 15 victories and one draw.
This impressive unbeaten streak of 16 games features winning the Euros, earning the Young Player of the Tournament award, and securing a commanding four-point lead for Barcelona in La Liga
In addition to simply picking up successive victories, Yamal’s individual contributions have been equally exemplary.
Indeed, during this period, Yamal has made a significant impact on the pitch, notching up 10 assists and three goals. His impressive contribution means he has come close to averaging a goal involvement per game.
At present, he tops the La Liga charts for assists, having delivered four in the first four games of the season.
Yamal’s recent performances serve as a compelling reminder of just how special his abilities are and the bright future that awaits.
Even so, his invaluable profile also necessitates careful management of minutes as the fear of injury always looms large.
