Lamine Yamal equalled a Real Madrid star’s La Liga dribbling benchmark in Barcelona 1-0 Alavés | OneFootball

A statistic, highlighting the extent of the on-ball brilliance conjured up by Barcelona star Lamine Yamal against Deportivo Alavés, has on Sunday evening come to the fore online.

Barcelona, of course, marked their return to action a short time ago.

Desperate to take advantage of Real Madrid’s dropped points at Espanyol on Saturday, the Blaugrana welcomed the aforementioned Alavés to Catalunya’s capital, for a La Liga clash.

And, when all was said and done, take advantage is precisely what Hansi Flick’s troops managed.

Owing to a solitary strike on the part of Robert Lewandowski, Barca emerged on the right side of a 1-0 result.

En route to as much, it was Lamine Yamal who scooped Man of the Match honours, courtesy of another trademark display on the right flank.

And, as alluded to above, such endeavours on the part of the 17-year-old have since given rise to a head-turning statistic.

As revealed by StatMuse, Lamine has joined Real Madrid counterpart Rodrygo as one of only two players to have completed 10 or more dribbles in a single La Liga fixture since the start of last season.
