Lamine Yamal closed Barça's victory against Oviedo with the goal of the season

FC Barcelona retained their lead in LaLiga EA Sports 2025-26 with a thrashing of Real Oviedo (3-0), where all eyes were on Lamine Yamal. In the 73rd minute, the Mataró-born player sealed the Blaugrana victory with what is undoubtedly the best goal of the season in Spain so far.

Dani Olmo, scorer of the first Barça goal in the 52nd minute, served a mid-height pass that Lamine, despite being far from the goal, took advantage of to execute a scissor kick with his right foot, his weaker one. The strike was precise, sending the ball to the far post, close enough and with a bounce on the turf to leave goalkeeper Aarón Escandell with no chance

THIS GUY SCORED ONE OF THE GOALS OF THE SEASON AND ACTS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED 🪄

Lamine Yamal's cross drove the crowd at the **Spotify Camp Nou** wild, while the '10' calmly celebrated by sitting on one of the Catalan club's advertising boards. Five minutes later, **Hansi Flick** brought on **Roony Bardghji**, allowing the winger to receive the loudest ovation of the rainy afternoon in Les Corts

Lamine Yamal: 11 goals and 11 assists in 25/26

His spectacular goal on Sunday was his 8th in LaLiga and his 11th in 26 games across all competitions this season. Despite dealing with osteitis pubis since early September, Yamal leads the team in direct goal contributions (22) and, against Oviedo, he was also decisive in resolving a match in the second half that proved more difficult than expected for the Catalans

Lamine, under pressure on David Carmo, caused the error in the build-up that led to Barça's 1-0 lead in the 52nd minute. Between the '10' and Raphinha, they managed to disrupt the Asturian defense's exit, and the ball finally fell to Dani Olmo, who finished with a precise first-time shot.Rapha, in the 57th minute, sealed the match by capitalizing on another absurd error by **David Costas** with a very short back pass to his goalkeeper. The Rocafonda native, in the 79 minutes he was on the field, **completed 31 of 36 passes (86%), had two shots on goal, and created 4 scoring opportunities**.

The break in Prague did Lamine wonders

After resting (due to suspension) against Slavia, Lamine Yamal returned home presenting his award for LaLiga's best player in December and celebrated it in the best way possible: with what is likely the goal of the season in the Spanish First Division, where he is already the most valuable and decisive footballer.

Now, the 18-year-old winger has his sights set on **Copenhagen**, Barcelona's next opponent, who with a victory next Wednesday at Camp Nou, will almost certainly secure direct qualification for the Champions League round of 16. For now, the '10' has a couple of goals and assists in 5 Champions League appearances.
