Yamal delivered an outstanding performance, helping Barca reclaim the top spot from Real Madrid

Lamine Yamal shone brightly with a brilliant display, playing a major role in the 3-0 victory over Oviedo, scoring a stunning goal and aiding Barcelona’s return to the top of La Liga.

Lamine Yamal became the shining center of attention at Camp Nou as he made a decisive impact in Barcelona’s 3-0 win against Real Oviedo, reclaiming the La Liga lead. The young Blaugrana talent not only scored the best goal of the match but also played a key role in the gameplay, deservedly earning the man of the match honors.

Under pressure after Real Madrid’s win the day before, Hansi Flick’s side had to secure all three points. However, bottom-placed Oviedo posed significant challenges with disciplined defending and quick counterattacks. The first half was tight, with Barcelona controlling possession but lacking breakthroughs, while Oviedo remained sharp enough to create moments that kept the home defense alert.

In this stalemate, Lamine Yamal emerged as Barcelona’s greatest source of inspiration. Not only frequently disturbing the wing, the young player also initiated high pressing, forcing Oviedo into repeated errors while building out from the back. From such pressure early in the second half, the ball bounced out for Dani Olmo to fire an accurate shot, opening the scoring.

With Barcelona in control, Yamal continued to showcase his quality. In the 73rd minute, from a somewhat difficult cross by Dani Olmo, the ball fell behind the defense, seemingly impossible to finish. Yet, Yamal acrobatically executed a spontaneous and precise scissor kick, producing one of the season’s most beautiful goals and sealing a 3-0 victory for the Camp Nou hosts.

Beyond the goal, Yamal left a strong impression with his dribbling, pressing, and direct involvement in nearly all of Barcelona’s dangerous attacks. The teenager’s energy and confidence helped Blaugrana maintain dominance in the second half despite Oviedo’s defensive efforts.

This victory not only brought Barcelona back to the top of La Ligabut also strongly affirmed Lamine Yamal as a young star who is maturing and becoming a true pillar in Hansi Flick’s squad.
