da esoccer bet： The 16-year-old turned in another impressive performance to continue his side's undefeated streak
da aviator aposta： Lamine Yamal celebrated wildly; he had earned it. The 16-year-old has just produced a moment of magic to break open an otherwise frustrating game, cutting onto his left foot, and lashing a Lionel Messi-esque shot into the far corner. His memorable effort was the difference in the contest, as Barcelona squeaked out a 1-0 win over Mallorca.
The Blaugrana should have taken the lead in the first half after Raphinha was brought down in the box, but Ilkay Gundogan missed the ensuing spot-kick.
Mallorca came close after the break, Vedat Muriqi's looping header pinging off the bar with Marc-Andre ter Stegen frozen. Yamal responded with another close effort soon after, hitting the woodwork with a fizzing shot. He didn't miss when afforded another opportunity, producing a wonderful curler to win it.
Barcelona were much improved here, full of creativity, but lacking in the key moments. That is, until Yamal stepped in. Barca have their new magician.
GOAL rates Barcelona's players from the Olympic Stadium…
GettyGoalkeeper & Defence
Marc-Andre ter Stegen (6/10):
Didn't have loads to do. Made three saves and was steady in his distribution.
Jules Kounde (7/10):
Steady at right-back – he certainly looks more comfortable there than in the middle. His defensive quality set Yamal up effectively.
Pau Cubarsi (8/10):
Did some excellent defensive work, including one impressive recovery and block.
Inigo Martinez (5/10):
Looked slow and old alongside Cubarsi. He's endured a mixed season.
Joao Cancelo (5/10):
Lively on the left-wing and dangerous in possession – even if his final ball was lacking. Also left a bit to be desired defensively.
AdvertisementGettyMidfield
Andreas Christensen (6/10):
Solid at the base of midfield. Looks a good option, these days.
Ilkay Gundogan (7/10):
Struck his penalty poorly – no surprise it was saved. Was otherwise excellent – the connective tissue that Barca needed.
Raphinha (6/10):
Was putting in a solid shift before being subbed with an apparent ankle injury.
Joao Felix (6/10):
Fired narrowly wide towards the end of the first half. Did a lot of pretty things with the ball, but never asserted himself on the contest.
GettyAttack
Marc Guiu (6/10):
Handed a start in lieu of Robert Lewandowski. Didn't get a sighting on goal – even if he ran tirelessly.
Lamine Yamal (8/10):
Not involved much in the first half. Much better in the second, capped off with a stunning, Messi-esque, winner.
GettySubs & Manager
Fermin Lopez (6/10):
Introduced for the injured Raphinha. Lively in central midfield from the second he came on.
Vitor Roque (7/10):
A very impressive cameo from the Brazilian, complete with some wonderful forward runs from deep. Played like he had a point to prove.
Robert Lewandowski (5/10):
One silly dive in the box capped off a disappointing 30 minutes.
Oriol Romeu (N/A):
Late defensive solidity.
Oscar Hernandez (7/10):
On the sideline after Xavi was suspended due to yellow card accumulation. Managed the game well, all things considered, and held his nerve by keeping Yamal on. Not perfect, but very good.
