Lamine Yamal: eleventh full match of 25/26 and MVP against Osasuna

LaLiga EA Sports chose Lamine Yamal as the best player in the Barcelona-Osasuna (2-0) match in matchday 16. Despite Raphinha's brace, the league chose the '10' as MVP of a game where, prior to the opening whistle, he offered the Barça fans the award as the best footballer in the month of November. 

Last month, the Mataró native scored 3 goals and provided 3 assists in the 4 matches played by Barça, meaning he **participated in 6 of the 14 goals scored by Hansi Flick's team**. On Saturday, although he couldn't add to his tally in the 25/26 season, the 18-year-old winger was, along with Marcus Rashford, a nightmare for the Navarre defense.

Lamine, unstoppable on the right against Osasuna

Back in his usual position, after completing a great game as an attacking midfielder against Betis, Lamine did whatever he wanted against Abel Bretones and Jorge Herrando. The former ended the first half booked after a foul on the '10', who closed the match with 8 duels won out of 14 opportunities (57 %).

Yamal also had the most goal opportunities created (3) and successful dribbles (5), on a day where he also came close to scoring. The Rocafonda player took 5 shots, 3 of them on target, but Sergio Herrera was alert to prevent what would have been the '10' for Barça's seventh league goal.

With the ball, the winger completed 50 of 64 passes (78%), in addition to recovering a ball and drawing a couple of fouls in the 90 minutes. Catena, in the first half, blocked a shot from Lamine after a great play down the wing, while Ferran Torres, previously, could not take a comfortable shot from a great chipped cross by the 18-year-old player who had left him one-on-one against Herrera

Eleventh full match for Lamine Yamal in 25/26

Despite not scoring or assisting, Lamine Yamal left the Barça-Osasuna match satisfied. Firstly, of course, because of the Blaugrana victory. Secondly, for completing 90 minutes for the 11th time this season.

The '10' has left behind his pubic discomfort and **Hansi Flick** is clear that the winger does not like to be substituted in the final stretch of the match, even less so in games where the team reaches the final minutes without having secured victory.

In total, the Barça star has scored 8 goals and provided 9 assists in 18 matches in the 25726, with a total of 1,416 minutes played. Next Tuesday, against Guadalajara in their Copa del Rey debut, he will likely be rested along with most of the usual starters
