In the early hours of September 1st, in the fourth round of La Liga where Barcelona triumphed over Valladolid with a 7-0 victory, Yamal delivered impressive statistics.
Yamal’s two assists in this match brought his total number of assists in La Liga to 10, and he has achieved 20 assists across all competitions, at the age of 17 years and 49 days.
According to statistics, Yamal’s performance far surpasses the achievements of Argentine legendary star Messi at the same stage. Messi completed 10 assists in La Liga at the age of 20 years and 245 days, and it took him until he was 21 years and 120 days to accumulate 20 assists across all competitions.
In the new season of La Liga, Yamal has already contributed to 5 goals (1 goal and 4 assists) in just 4 appearances.
At the end of last season, Yamal expressed his hope to wear the No.10 jersey, symbolizing the core player status, just like his idol Messi, but this wish was not supported by Barcelona’s management.
