"Statistically, his numbers in the UEFA Champions League are nothing short of astonishing. Yamal currently leads the tournament in successful dribbles, completing 36 in just three matches. That puts him ahead of some of Europe's finest attackers, namely Jeremy Doku of Manchester City (32), Anthony Gordon of Newcastle and Kasper Hogh of Bodo/Glimt (29 each), and even Kylian Mbappe of Real Madrid, who sits on 26."
"After battling through a difficult injury spell, the 18-year-old appears to be back to his electrifying self, and his latest masterclass against Club Brugge proved just that. While his performance in Belgium was a joy to watch, it merely underlines what has been a consistent pattern in recent weeks. Yamal's sharpness, creativity, and stamina are returning in full flow, confirming that he is now physically and mentally back on track."
Lamine Yamal returned to electrifying form after a difficult injury spell, producing a masterful performance against Club Brugge. He leads the UEFA Champions League with 36 successful dribbles from three matches, outpacing players such as Jeremy Doku, Anthony Gordon, Kasper Hogh and Kylian Mbappe. Yamal covered 9.8 kilometres in the Brugge match, one of Barcelona's highest distances that night, surpassing Marcus Rashford's 9.3 kilometres in 83 minutes and Ferran Torres's 6.3 kilometres. He has regained sharpness, creativity and stamina and is physically and mentally back on track. He is viewed as a fearless "little leader" whose shots produced three of Barcelona's eight on-target attempts, with two goals influenced directly by his play.
