Lamine Yamal dependence underlined after Barcelona drop points again in La Liga
For the second consecutive matchday in La Liga, Barcelona achieved a disappointing result. They were beaten 1-0 by Real Sociedad two weeks ago before collapsing to a 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo on Saturday evening.
Before the defeat at La Real, Barcelona had won eleven of the twelve first competition matches, with the highlight against Osasuna (4-2). On all three occasions, Lamine Yamal was not in the starting line-up.
The 17-year-old was ruled out against La Real and Celta due to an ankle injury, while he was on the bench for the defeat at El Sadar. Each time, Barcelona struggled without his presence in the team.
Lamine Yamal has played sixteen games for Barcelona this season and the Catalans have been on the winning side in fifteen of those games. The only outlier was against Monaco (2-1 defeat) in the Champions League, a match in which he scored. in. There is no doubt that they hope to see him back in action as soon as possible.
