In the Catalan derby against Espanyol, Barcelona mathematically clinches the 2024/25 La Liga, thanks to a dominant performance and, above all, a gem from Lamine Yamal, the 2007-born phenomenon who has gifted the Blaugrana another moment for the film archives.
The match breaks open at the 53rd minute, when Yamal takes the ball wide on the right wing, decisively targets the man, cuts back towards the center skipping two defenders with a sharp and controlled dribble, and with his left foot lets loose a curling shot from the edge of the box.
The trajectory is perfect: the ball flies towards the intersection of the posts, unreachable for goalkeeper Joan García, who can only watch as the ball nestles under the crossbar to his left. The goal, spectacular and sudden, makes the bench and the Blaugrana fans present at the stadium explode.
A solo action that recalls the goal scored against France in the semi-final of the U21 European Championship, which has now become his technical signature: receiving the ball wide, dribbling back in and a deadly curling shot.
A gesture from an absolute superstar, worth the 17th seasonal goal for the young talent, the absolute protagonist of the season.
But it's not over there: in stoppage time, Yamal again has a hand in the second goal, serving a precise assist to Fermin Lopez, who seals the deal with a thunderbolt under the crossbar.
Another decisive play that closes the circle and officially hands Hansi Flick's Barça its 28th La Liga title, crowning a triumphant season with the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup also in the trophy cabinet.
With this performance, Yamal once again establishes himself as the symbol-man of the new Blaugrana course: a prodigy, capable at 17 years of deciding derbies and championships with champion-like plays. A Ballon d'Or-worthy goal.
