📝 With two goals in less than 10 minutes, Lamine Yamal led Barcelona to their fifth straight victory in the 2024-25 La Liga season!
The 17-year-old sensation scored twice in the first half, igniting Barça's attack in a commanding 4-1 win over Catalan rivals Girona on Sunday. The win keeps Barcelona four points clear at the top of the table. 🔝
\"To help the team it's important to score the goals and to do whatever is needed,\" Yamal said after the match. \"The first match after the international break is always complicated. Now we can start focusing on the match against Monaco in the Champions League on Thursday.\"
Yamal opened the scoring in the 30th minute, stealing the ball from a defender and blasting a close-range shot into the net. He doubled the lead in the 37th minute by picking up a loose ball inside the area and finishing with confidence. ⚽️⚽️
Dani Olmo added to the tally just after the break, scoring from a tight angle in the 47th minute. It's Olmo's third goal since joining Barcelona this season, making him the first player to score in his first three league games for Barça since Cesc Fàbregas in 2011. Only Zlatan Ibrahimović achieved the same feat this century! 🌟
Pedri sealed the victory with a goal from inside the area in the 64th minute. 🎯
Despite a late goal from Cristhian Stuani in the 80th minute, Girona couldn't mount a comeback. Barcelona played with 10 men from the 87th minute after Ferran Torres was sent off for a hard foul. 🟥
Robert Lewandowski celebrated his 100th game with Barcelona, contributing to the team's dominant performance. 🎉
Barcelona will now set their sights on their upcoming Champions League clash against Monaco on Thursday. European nights await! 🌙
