A remarkable statistic surrounding the creative excellence of Barcelona star Lamine Yamal this season has on Saturday come to the fore online.

This comes owing to the youngster’s exploits in Barcelona’s meeting with Real Betis.

Hansi Flick’s troops are of course fresh off something of an underwhelming evening’s work, which saw them twice surrender the lead en route to a 2-2 stalemate at the Estadio Benito Villamarín.

The aforementioned Lamine, though, shone once more from his berth on the right flank.

The highlight of the 17-year-old’s display came inside the closing ten minutes, when Lamine’s inch-perfect pass split Real Betis’ backline wide open, allowing Ferran Torres to slot home.

And as much, as alluded to above, did not only prove significant in putting Barcelona back in front on the evening.

In addition, it has since given rise to the most head-turning of statistics.

As revealed by statisticians StatMuse, with nine to his name, Lamine has now racked up as many La Liga assists this season as Real Madrid trio Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Jr. and Jude Bellingham combined.
