Fantastic statistics! Lamine Yamal has already provided 35 assists since the start of the 2024/25 season – only one player has more

In the Copa del Rey semifinal, Barcelona faces Atlético, and by halftime the Catalans are already up 2-0, cutting their overall deficit to two goals. One of the standout performers is Lamine Yamal, whose assist to Marc Bernal allowed the Blaugrana to open the scoring and start believing in a miracle.

Details: According to Opta, this assist was Yamal’s 35th in all competitions since the start of the 2024/25 campaign. The 18-year-old has now surpassed Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes and is closing in on the European leader—Michael Olise.

It’s worth noting that Diego Simeone’s Atlético, who arrived in Catalonia with a comfortable four-goal cushion, now look shell-shocked under the relentless pressure of Camp Nou. The second half is still to come, and the race for a place in the Copa del Rey final is more alive than ever.
