Crazy numbers! Yamal keeps shining!
Lamine Yamal is turning another Spain match into his own personal highlight reel.
Details: The Barcelona winger has already recorded two goals and one assist in Spain's ongoing UEFA Nations League clash with Croatia. Yamal opened the scoring almost immediately and later struck again, while also providing a decisive pass for one of his teammates. At the time of writing, Spain lead Croatia 3-1, but the match has not yet finished.
Yamal has once again become the central figure for Luis de la Fuente's team. Croatia have struggled to contain the 19-year-old on the right flank, and virtually every dangerous Spanish attack involving him has created problems for the visitors.
According to the statistics supplied with the latest update, Yamal has now reached 10 goals and eight assists in 10 appearances this season for club and country. Even more remarkably, the tenth game is still in progress, meaning the Spaniard's current tally stands at 18 direct goal contributions before the final whistle has even sounded in Seville.
The Croatia match has also continued an extraordinary international run for the Barcelona star. Just three days earlier, Yamal scored for Spain in their dramatic 3-2 Nations League victory over England at Wembley, where he once again needed almost no time to make an impact.
It is worth noting that Yamal scored in the second minute against England and repeated the feat in the second minute against Croatia, finding the net at virtually the same moment in two consecutive Spain matches.
Reminder: Incredible! Yamal scores against Croatia in the second minute
