Pure Fantasy! Lamine Yamal and his 'Messianic' play that made Montjuïc explode

Lamine Yamal was the standout figure in FC Barcelona's victory over Alavés. The star from Mataró came onto the field at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys fully charged, aiming to lead the team to a victory that allowed them to close the gap in the standings and fully enter the title race for LaLiga.

And it had not even been five minutes since the referee's initial whistle when the forward starred in one of the best individual plays of the season. Against the wall imposed by Eduardo Coudet, the player took the ball in his own half and took off down the right wing, initially overcoming the two-on-one challenge posed by Conechny and Guevara.

Subsequently, Lamine crossed the halfway line, dribbled past Antonio Blanco, surpassed the '10' babazorro and Guevara again, and after covering almost 50 meters with the ball 'glued' to his foot in an endless slalom, found Raphinha at the edge of the area and set up the Brazilian with his already characteristic 'trivela', but the '11's shot went just wide, preventing Yamal from claiming the assist of the year.

However, the spectacular play from the youth player, who left 7 opponents frozen in a recital of feints, cuts, step-overs, and changes of pace, has been etched in the collective memory of Barcelona fans, who once again saw how on a January afternoon, the spirit of Lionel Messi reappeared in the City of Barcelona, this time in the form of a young star just 17 years old who is destined to make history.
