Barcelona’s rising star Lamine Yamal has been named La Liga’s Best U-23 Player for February, capping off a stellar month for the Camp Nou outfit.
At just 17, Yamal played a pivotal role in Barcelona’s unbeaten league run, showcasing his blistering speed, technical brilliance, and sharp footballing intelligence. His contributions were vital in securing four straight victories for Barcelona.
The La Masia graduate kicked off the month with a dazzling performance against Alavés, completing 11 of 21 attempted dribbles surpassing a previous record held by Barcelona legend Lionel Messi. He wrapped up February with a decisive assist for Dani Olmo’s goal in the 2-0 win over Las Palmas.
Despite not scoring in La Liga since October, Yamal’s impact has been undeniable. His dynamic displays saw him outshine fellow young talents Javi Guerra, Uche, Javi Rodríguez, and Jesús Rodríguez to claim the award for the second time this season.
A crucial figure for Barcelona across all competitions, Yamal’s recognition further cements his status as one of football’s brightest prospects.
