FC Barcelona<\/strong> advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2025\/26 Copa del Rey<\/a> after overcoming a tough match in Cantabria against Racing de Santander (0-2)<\/a><\/strong>. The leader of La Liga Hypermotion put up a fight in El Sardinero against a Bar\u00e7a side that, once again, had Lamine Yamal as their best player on the field.<\/p> On a cold and wet night, the ’10’ took charge of the Bar\u00e7a attack, with a Marcus Rashford once again erratic and a Ferran Torres, scorer of Bar\u00e7a’s first goal with a notable finish, but who also had a rather poor game in the Copa del Rey round of 16.<\/p> Lamine, on the other hand, did not stop trying on his flank during the first 15 minutes. A free kick that went slightly high was his only chance before halftime, but in the second half, the player from Matar\u00f3 was a nightmare for **Mario Garc\u00eda, the left-back for the Cantabrians**, who was replaced in the 72nd minute, physically exhausted and booked for stepping on Yamal.<\/p> In the 48th minute, a great pass from the ’10’ left Rashford one-on-one with Ezkieta, but the local goalkeeper prevented the Englishman’s goal with a saving hand. The keeper also appeared to contain, in two stages, a shot from Lamine himself with a bounce two minutes later.<\/p> The winger came close to an assist again in the 52nd minute with a cross that **Manu Herrando** miraculously cleared when Ferran was arriving alone to head it in from close range. On a subsequent corner, Yamal came close to scoring an Olympic goal with a very tight cross that surprised Ezkieta and hit the crossbar.<\/p> Lamine put Racing against the ropes and the Cantabrians’ resistance finally broke in the 66th minute with **a great pass from Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez to Ferran** which the ‘Shark’ took advantage of to score his fifteenth goal of the season.<\/p> The locals, however, tried until the end and scored a couple of goals disallowed for offside. In stoppage time, **Manex Lozano** had the equalizer to force a penalty shootout, but he shot directly at **Joan Garc\u00eda**’s body in a one-on-one situation where he had a pass to the middle with a teammate free to tap it into an empty net.<\/p> Right after, in the last play of the match, Lamine led a lethal counter-attack for Bar\u00e7a. The ’10’ wanted to assist Lewandowski<\/strong>, but the Pole ran too far ahead. Luckily, Raphinha<\/strong> appeared at the far post, prolonging the play with a low cross that the ’10’ took advantage of to finish at point-blank range.<\/p> For the Rocafona player, it was his 10th goal in 25\/26, his first in the Copa del Rey. **The 18-year-old forward now has 20 direct goal involvements in 24 games** and has matched ‘Lewy’ as the third-highest scorer for Bar\u00e7a, behind Ferran (15) and Raphinha (11)<\/p> Lamine Yamal continues his streak in the 25\/26 season with Bar\u00e7a. Hansi Flick kept him in his XI against Racing, and the ’10’ carried the team’s offensive load, completing a great game rewarded with a goal in stoppage time FC Barcelona advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2025\/26 Copa del Rey after overcoming a tough […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":347,"featured_media":8121,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_nextfly_llmd_date_locked":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[118,446],"tags":[147,465,232,157],"class_list":["post-8120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-copa-del-rey","category-copa-del-rey-2","tag-lamine-yamal","tag-lamine-yamal-2","tag-mvp","tag-statistics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nLamine Yamal reaches 10 goals in 25\/26<\/h2>
