Lamine Yamal continues his streak with Barça. Against Villarreal, the '19' scored another tremendous goal with his characteristic placed left-footed shot, bringing his total to 9 goals in LaLiga.
Lamine Yamal's stunning goals from outside the area are already a trademark of the FC Barcelona winger. After shaking the nets against Real Madrid (4-3) and Espanyol (0-2) with two perfect shots, one more powerful (the Catalan derby goal) than the other, the '19' pulled another rabbit out of the hat against Villarreal (2-3).
This time, the assist came from Eric García. The '24' returned a short pass to the Mataró native in the 38th minute. Despite being marked by two rivals, the youngster dribbled to his left to unleash a placed shot, impossible for goalkeeper Luíz Junior.
The most spectacular thing about Yamal's finish was that Dani Parejo also tried to block the shot, but it was so well-placed that there was no way to prevent the stunning goal.

Everyone knows that Lamine, at any moment, will unleash a left-footed strike, but the Barça youth player is so skilled that rivals cannot find an effective formula to stop him.

Ninth goal for Lamine Yamal in LaLiga and three consecutive matchdays scoring

For the winger, this was his ninth goal in LaLiga, not counting the one that the competition 'stole' from him on matchday 29 against Girona (4-1). In addition, the 17-year-old forward is the leader in assists in the tournament (17) and has scored in three consecutive matchdays, his best streak so far.
Before halftime, Yamal was about to score another even more spectacular goal, but Luíz Junior made a saving hand to send the shot onto the crossbar. The '19' sat down two rivals inside the area before shooting, with an impressive dribble.

In the second half, the youngster tried again with another long-range blast, but this time it went straight to the middle of the goal, where the 'Yellow Submarine' goalkeeper caught it without problems.
In total, Lamine completed 7 dribbles and won 8 duels in the match, in addition to attempting 9 shots (4 on target), with a couple of chances created. In this way, he was again the best player on the team.
In the end, Barça ended up surprisingly falling against Villarreal (2-3), an inconsequential result that does not tarnish, much less, the great season of the blaugrana team or the party prepared for the title presentation.
