Amazing Lamine revolutionizes Barça in ten decisive minutes
In Istanbul's Olympic Stadium, on Tuesday, Lamine Yamal took the captain's armband at the end of the match when Pedri left the field with an injury. In just ten minutes of the second half, the youngster propelled Barça and rewrote the course of the game against Galatasaray.
Statistics that confirm his dominance
During that spell, the Catalan created six chances, took five shots, delivered four crosses and performed two dribbles. What stands out most are his seventeen ball possessions, a figure that confirms the game matched his vision.
Lamine started the attack with an outward pass to Gordon, who only needed to push the ball. The Englishman missed the finish, but the youngster did not get discouraged.
In response, Yamal delivered a delicate pass to Fermín, who headed it to open the score at 1‑2.
Next, the captain devised the play that culminated in the 1‑3 goal, forcing Gordon to respond without success.
Later, he carried the ball to Adeyemi's area, facilitating the action that ended in the 1‑4 goal before stopping, as if conserving resources for tougher moments.
Lamine Yamal's performance, already the undisputed leader of Barça, made clear his ability to shift the dynamics of any match.
