Lamine Yamal has 14 assists in all competitions this season. Only Mohamed Salah, with 17, surpasses him in the five major leagues

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Under the orders of Hansi Flick, Lamine Yamal has established himself as the great star of the present and future of FC Barcelona. At just 17 years old, the star from Mataró is a fundamental pillar of the German's project, whose system cannot be understood without the presence of '19' on the pitch. The superiority of the academy player over his rivals is overwhelming, and it is starting to be reflected in the statistics.

The player from Rocafonda, who suffered a couple of ankle injuries during the first half of the season, has played 29 matches and celebrated 10 goals in all competitions (5 in LaLiga, 2 in Champions League, 2 in Supercopa de España, and 1 in Copa del Rey). He is the third highest scorer in the squad, which also leads in assists.

Lamine, the second highest assister in Europe

Lamine has accumulated 14 assists this season, which are distributed between LaLiga (10), the Champions (2), and the Copa del Rey (2). The forward is the top assister for Barça above Raphinha (13), and also leads the ranking in the league, surpassing the Brazilian, Jude Bellingham, and Iñaki Williams, all with 6.

In fact, Yamal's dominance in this area is increasingly close to being reflected at the continental level. In the five major leagues, only Mohamed Salah surpasses the Catalan's records, accumulating 17 assists during this campaign (13 in the Premier League and four in the Champions League). However, if he maintains his current level, it seems likely that the azulgrana star will eventually surpass him sooner or later.

The top ten assist providers of the 2024/25 season in the five major leagues:

  1. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): 17 assists - 33 matches
  2. Lamine Yamal (FC Barcelona): 14 assists - 29 matches
