Barcelona have had an incredible start to the season, winning every game so far and scoring goals for fun in both La Liga and the Champions League.

Among their many superstars, Lamine Yamal has started the new season at a frightening pace, with the Barcelona star producing 18 direct goal contributions across his first 10 official appearances for club and country.

The teenage superstar has 11 goals and seven assists across 829 minutes for Barcelona and Spain.

18 goal contributions in 10 matches works out at 1.8 per appearance, but Lamine’s influence extends beyond the numbers.

He has produced 38 key passes and created 13 big chances while completing 39 dribbles. Those numbers capture what Lamine creates beyond goals and assists.

There is also significant defensive involvement. He has registered 30 recoveries and 22 defensive actions across those 10 appearances.

That matters under Hansi Flick. Individual brilliance will always define Lamine, but becoming more complete without the ball makes him even more valuable to the German manager.
