Yamal threatens Real Madrid and Mbappé with exceptional numbers ahead of El Clásico

Lamine Yamal continues to deliver outstanding performances with FC Barcelona, having contributed to 20 goals out of 50 scored by the team in 12 matches this season, highlighting his attacking importance ahead of the clash against Real Madrid in the clásico.

Spanish outlet 'Mundo Deportivo' has highlighted the young player's numbers, as he has scored 10 goals and provided 10 assists this season, bringing his total contributions to 40% of FC Barcelona's goals, indicating his significant role in scoring and creating opportunities for his teammates.

The newspaper noted that Lamine Yamal has achieved this remarkable rate of goal contributions at a striking pace, compared to Lionel Messi, who recorded 25 contributions in the 2011/2012 season, with 16 goals and 9 assists.

On the European stage, Lamine Yamal has matched Kylian Mbappé's record by scoring 13 goals in the UEFA Champions League before reaching the age of 20, after finding the net against Paris Saint-Germain in the third round of the competition.
