Barca's victory in the thrill of 7 goals, the history of Yamal

  

Villarreal 3: 4 Barcelona

Barcelona lead 2-0 before 15 minutes of the match. Villarreal, who equalized in the first half, took the lead in the 50th minute. Will Barcelona suffer their first loss in the third match of the new La Liga season? Barcelona ended up winning the match 4-3. 16-year-old Lamine Yamal made a big contribution to the victory despite not scoring a goal.

A 3-minute storm brought the second win in this league to Barca, who started the season with a draw with Hetaf. Barca equalized in the 68th minute with the goal of Feran Torres. Torres scored within 5 minutes of coming on as a substitute. One of his own shots deflected off the body of a Villarreal defender and bounced back to him. Torres didn't have to struggle to score from the penalty spot. It was Torres' fourth goal in La Liga after coming on as a substitute under Xavi.

Robert Lewandowski made it 4-3 after 3 minutes. But for a bit it was not written in the name of Lamin Yamal. The 16-year-old Barca forward's low left-footed shot into Villarreal's penalty box from the right-hand side deflected off the post to a gaping Leva. The Polish striker just had to touch his feet.

Yamal was also the source of Barca's first goal. In the 12th minute, Gavi headed his cross and scored. This cross also brought Yamal a record to speak of. In the 21st century, no player in La Liga has recorded an assist at a younger age than Yamal. Yamal, aged 16 years and 45 days, surpassed teammate Ansu Fati's record. Fati scored against Valencia in September 2019 at the age of 16 years and 318 days.

Like the third and fourth goals, the gap between Barca's first and second goals is also 3 minutes. After taking the lead in the 12th minute, Frankie de Jong gave Barca their second goal in the 15th minute with a superb team effort. Villarreal then went ahead with goals from Juan Faith, Alexander Sarloth and Alex Biena.

But Villarreal suffered their 28th loss to Barca in La Liga after losing to a teenager named Yamal.

Barca is now third in the points list with 7 points after three matches. Real Madrid is on top with 9 points.
