Lamine Yamal vs Aston Villa (03/11/2026)

It's the energy and that extra fight within you to survive at times here. Lamine Yamal, quickly to him, was Ian Matson, but he's never fazed by anything like that. The feet twinkling all. Yamal with the pass. This is Fermin Lopez pulling it through. He did well, because I thought Kamara, maybe Kamara just switched off there. Lamin Yamal. That's given away, it's given away to Lamine Yamal, you can't do that! Off he goes on the outside of Matson, wonderful balance there. A little flick there by Yamal was brilliant. He looked like two young boys playing at the back for Barcelona, but he played with such composure and experience, and the pass selection is so mature. Field, Rodri's the one that dominates it. Here's Yamal. Has muscled Buendia aside. Lamine, Yamal. Criticised him for putting out the pitch, but that pass up the line was superb. Now, but is Rafinha onside or offside? A nudge. Yamal's onside, played on here by Pau Torres. Misses Pedri, and now Lamine Yamal, here to Lamine Yamal, to Lamin Yamal, legs brilliant, here's Firmin Lopez, they're in again, Pedri plays one in, Lamine Yamal, does he get there, just about, there's space out there on the Barcelona right for Yamal, goes around the outside, Fornellas, on to Lamine Yamal, Fornellas plays, players coming through the academy and looking like they've played hundreds of matches already, between them, Lopez coming the other way, here's Lamine Yamal, Clips one in here towards Anthony Gordon. Gordon to Rafinha. Gordon's carried on running. It's gone instead to Yamal. There's the back heel. Clipped in. Headed away by Jackson. Lamine Yamal. Now Lamine Yamal. Outside of the boot towards Gabriel. Now Lamine Yamal. Jesus and Gordon in the middle. Yamal twisting and turning in the Aston Villa. Yamal. Forward. There's Lamine Yamal. Yamal shoots. Small place. And it goes towards Yamal. There's Lamine Yamal. Maybe time for one final flourish. Tries to whip one in.
