"In 90 minutes against Los Rojiblancos, Yamal completed a staggering 14 of 19 attempted dribbles for the team with a completion rate of 73.6%. The 18-year-old wonderkid was all over Atletico Madrid's Matteo Ruggeri and attacked relentlessly with easy access to the visitors' area."
"In addition to his mere dribbles, Yamal racked up four key passes, created two big chances and won 14 duels in addition to earning the assist for Marc Bernal's opener. No player in world football is even remotely close to Yamal's attacking brilliance."
"He leads the global charts with 107 successful take-ons this season, and the next highest is RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande at 79. It is, in fact, the second time he hit that number of dribbles in a game, for he achieved the same feat against Inter Milan in Italy last season."
Lamine Yamal produced an exceptional display in Barcelona's 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey, though the victory proved insufficient to overcome a four-goal deficit from the first leg. The 18-year-old completed 14 of 19 dribbles with a 73.6% success rate, created four key passes, generated two big chances, and provided an assist for Marc Bernal's opening goal. Yamal won 14 duels and consistently attacked Atletico's defense with relentless pressure. His performance reinforced his status as one of world football's premier attacking talents, leading global charts with 107 successful take-ons this season, significantly ahead of the second-highest player.
