Lamine Yamal continues to shine for Barcelona with sixth goal of the season

Lamine Yamal continued his impressive start to the season by scoring a brace again as Barcelona defeated Levante 4-2 at the Ciutat de València in the fifth round of La Liga.

The young forward was involved in Barcelona’s second goal as the Catalan side produced another strong attacking display to maintain their dominance over Levante.

Yamal finishes quick Barcelona counter

Barcelona took the lead in the fifth minute through Xavi Espart before Rafinha and Yamal combined to extend the advantage through a swift counter-attack.

The move began inside Barcelona’s own penalty area, where Pau Coparsi produced an excellent pass to break through Levante’s first line of pressure and find Firmin.

Firmin quickly released Rafinha with a through ball, allowing the Brazilian winger to advance into a dangerous position.

Rafinha controlled the pass, moved past the Levante goalkeeper and reached the goal line, but with no clear angle to shoot, he opted to square the ball for Yamal.

The Barcelona forward made no mistake from close range, finishing the move to put his side further ahead.

Rafinha plays key role in Barcelona victory

Rafinha’s contribution went beyond the assist for Yamal’s goal.

The Brazilian also provided the assist for Espart’s opener, giving him two assists during the match and playing a central role in Barcelona’s attacking performance.

Barcelona eventually secured a 4-2 victory despite Levante scoring twice, maintaining their strong start to the league campaign.

Yamal continues remarkable scoring run

Yamal’s latest goal takes his tally to six in six appearances this season.

Five of those goals have come in La Liga, while the other was scored in the Champions League, underlining the teenager’s growing importance to Barcelona’s attack.

At a time when young African and global football audiences continue to follow the emergence of the game’s next generation of stars, Yamal’s early-season form further underlines why he remains one of the most closely watched young players in European football.

The latest goal against Levante adds to an increasingly impressive scoring record for the Barcelona youngster.
