Lamine Yamal produced the most outrageous outside-of-the-boot assist for Dani Olmo vs Espanyol

Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal has begun his quest for the 2025 Ballon d’Or with an impressive assist during Sunday’s La Liga match against Espanyol.

The 17-year-old, who recently became the youngest winner of the Kopa Trophy after an outstanding season for both club and country, has continued his strong form, netting seven goals and providing eight assists in 15 matches.

Yamal has emerged as one of Barcelona’s key players lately, with his recent performance against Real Madrid being just one highlight among many.

On Sunday, he excelled in the first half against Espanyol, making a significant impact. In the 12th minute, Yamal found space on the right wing and executed a perfectly timed ‘outside-of-the-boot’ pass to Dani Olmo, who scored at the near post, putting Barcelona ahead 1-0.
