"The 18-year-old has started the season in sensational form, registering four goal contributions (two goals, two assists) in three games in LaLiga. Yamal also played a crucial role in helping Hansi Flick's side reach the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, netting five times as well as providing three assists. He also completed more dribbles (56) than any other player in the competition in 2024-25, 17 more than AC Milan's Rafael Leao, who was second in that metric."
"Yamal will now have to wait to reach another milestone in his career, with his next outing for Barcelona in the Champions League seeing him become the player with the most appearances in the competition while aged 18 or younger (currently 23). The club have confirmed that the winger will remain in Spain and work on his fitness ahead of Barca's league match against Getafe, while the rest of the team travel to England."
Lamine Yamal will miss Barcelona's opening 2025-26 Champions League match against Newcastle after sustaining a groin injury on international duty with Spain. He missed Barcelona's 6-0 victory over Valencia and will remain in Spain to work on his fitness ahead of the club's LaLiga fixture against Getafe, while the rest of the team travel to England. The 18-year-old had four goal contributions in three league games and finished 2024-25 with five Champions League goals, three assists and the competition-high 56 completed dribbles. Frenkie de Jong is included in the travelling squad; Alejandro Balde and Gavi are sidelined.
