Lamine Yamal, the young star of FC Barcelona, once again played a decisive role in the victory against Athletic Club at San Mamés, scoring a goal that keeps alive the possibility of breaking a historic record set by Raúl González.
The Barcelona forward continues to establish himself as one of the standout players in LaLiga.
The Raúl record Yamal could break
According to statistics from MisterChip, Raúl González holds the record for the most goals scored in a single LaLiga season before turning 19.
The former Real Madrid striker scored 19 goals in the 1995-1996 season.
Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal has already scored 14 goals this season, with 11 league matches still remaining.
That keeps alive the possibility that the Barcelona youngster could surpass one of Spanish football’s most notable records.
Flick explains Yamal’s scoring form
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick praised the youngster after the win at San Mamés.
“He trains those situations a lot. It’s great to have him at this level. He decides matches with a single action,” Flick said.
The German manager also highlighted the impact of Pedri, who came off the bench and helped change the flow of the match.
