FC Barcelona went into halftime with a lead against Celta thanks to Lamine Yamal's fourth goal in LaLiga (and sixth of the season). The '10' capitalized on a half-clearance from Ilaix Moriba, after a run down the left wing by Marcus Rashford, to score the partial 2-3 in Balaídos in the fourth minute of added time in the first half.

Barça was always ahead against the Galician team thanks to a brace from Robert Lewandowski, but Sergio Carreiras and Borja Iglesias had equalized twice for the hosts. However, Hansi Flick's men regained the lead by taking advantage of the opportunism of an in-form Lamine.

Third consecutive game with a goal for Lamine Yamal

The player from Mataró had just scored the opening goal in the 3-1 victory against Elche at Montjuïc and also scored a 'Messi-esque' wonder goal against Club Brugge in the Champions League draw (3-3), thus reaching three consecutive games scoring.

His best streak in 24/25 was also three consecutive games scoring, all in the league against Real Madrid, Espanyol, and Villarreal at the end of the season. In the first three matchdays of the current season, the '10' scored a couple of goals (Mallorca and Rayo) and the same number of assists to lead the Blaugrana attack.

Later, a groin injury caused him to miss five games, but Lamine, little by little and thanks to specific training, is returning to his best form on the field. Currently, he has 6 goals and 6 assists in 11 games with Barça.

The post denied Lamine his first brace of the 25/26 season

Before the end of the match, the player from Rocafonda was very close to scoring the fifth Blaugrana goal in the game, but he hit the post with a low shot against Radu's save. Fermín López had assisted the '10', after an error in possession by Marcos Alonso, who completed a disastrous match for the Sky Blues.

Thus, Lamine Yamal remains Barça's second top scorer in 25/26, behind Ferran Torres and Lewandowski (both with 7). Marcus Rashford, meanwhile, leads the team in assists with 8, a couple more than the 18-year-old winger.
