"Lamine Yamal was one of the Barcelona players who shone the brightest in the team's La Liga clash against Elche last night, even taking home the Player of the Match award. The youngster, after all, was not only the team's most important player in the final third but also the creator-in-chief, racking up as many as eight key passes against Eder Sarabia's side."
"For Yamal to equal the World Cup winner and club legend's record at just 18 years of age, needless to say, is close to unbelievable. The goal was Yamal's ninth in La Liga this season, but he also has three goals to his name in the UEFA Champions League and one in the Copa del Rey. His total tally for the season, thus, rests at 13 with the remaining coming from previous seasons."
"The season before that saw him rack up five goals in the league and one each in the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup. In all, Lamine now has 38 official first-team goals for Barcelona in 134 matches - the same number that Maradona managed during his time at the club, albeit in only 58 games."
Lamine Yamal starred in Barcelona's La Liga win over Elche, creating eight key passes and scoring by rounding the goalkeeper to open the scoring. He won the Player of the Match award for his overall contribution in the final third. The goal was his 38th for Barcelona, bringing him level with Diego Maradona's club total. The strike was Yamal's ninth in La Liga this season; he is also credited with three Champions League goals and one in the Copa del Rey for a seasonal total of 13. The 2024-25 campaign figures list nine La Liga goals, five UCL goals, and two each in the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup. The prior season produced five league goals and one in each domestic cup. Yamal has 38 official first-team goals in 134 matches for Barcelona.
