FC Barcelona thrashed Athletic Club (4-0) in another magical afternoon for Lamine Yamal. The '10', although he couldn't score for the fourth consecutive match, was the best of the blaugrana offensive trident, participating in two of the four goals scored by Hansi Flick's team in the long-awaited return to the Spotify Camp Nou

Lamine had already played a handful of minutes (7) against Betis (4-0) on April 29, 2023 in his official debut with Barça. On Saturday, now as the team's star, the Mataró native did whatever he wanted on his flank, overcoming Yuri Berchiche in their individual duel.

The 18-year-old winger completed 8 dribbles and 50 passes during the 90 minutes, in addition to creating 3 goal-scoring opportunities and taking a couple of shots on goal. However, his main contribution came as an assist provider on matchday 13 of LaLiga.

Lamine only missed a goal in his return to Spotify Camp Nou

Yamal showcased his repertoire with two passes that left Ferran Torres one-on-one against Unai Simón. The first, with the outside of his left foot just before halftime, orchestrated the goal that sealed the match. Towards the end, Lamine once again displayed his magic with another through ball to 'El Tiburón', this time after leaving four rivals behind with a 'Messi-esque' play.

The linesman, in principle, signaled offside for the '7', but VAR validated the goal. The '10' only lacked a goal on the day, but between Unai Simón and the Basque defenders, they managed to prevent the fourth consecutive celebration for the player from Rocafonda.

Lamine, however, is already **joint-leader in LaLiga assists with 6** and is just one behind Marcus Rashford (8), the team's top assist provider so far this season. The Englishman missed Matchday 13 of the league due to a cold, but will be back against Chelsea next Tuesday
