Lamine Yamal sets new career benchmark in Barcelona vs Mallorca

Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal etched a fresh personal milestone on Saturday night, his long-range thunderbolt against visiting RCD Mallorca carrying far more weight than the immediate two-goal cushion it secured for the hosts at Spotify Camp Nou.

With Hansi Flick’s side well in command late in the contest, the 18-year-old winger collected possession well outside the area and unleashed a spectacular drive that rippled the net for his 10th La Liga strike of the campaign. The goal, which doubled the advantage given by Robert Lewandowski’s first-half close-range finish, clinched a landmark moment: Yamal has now reached double-digit league goals in a single season for the first time in his young career.

The strike not only underlined Barcelona’s dominance on the evening but also highlighted the teenager’s rapid ascent in Blaugrana colors, adding another layer to a legacy still in the making.
